The Charles Sturt University (CSU) Winery Cellar Door at Wagga Wagga has received an Award of Distinction at the 2009 Inland NSW Tourism Awards held in Narrabri, NSW on Saturday 25 July. The Cellar Door sells wine and offers tastings from the University’s own range of premium table, fortified and sparkling wines. “It’s a fantastic achievement to receive this award – one of only five businesses (in addition to the 18 category winners) out of 58 entrants in the state to be commended,” said Cellar Door Manager Mr Richard Lawson. “The award recognises the Winery’s contribution to local and regional tourism, as well as the extensive range of CSU wine, cheese and olive oil products available for tasting and sales. It also recognises the hard work of our dedicated Cellar Door team.”  Since its inception in 1977, the CSU Winery has won numerous trophies and medals in national wine shows.
