To excellence and partnership!
We are proud to announce the winners of the inaugural 2026 Awesome Client Portal (ACP) Awards, a new annual tradition recognizing the individuals and wineries driving innovation, engagement, and operational excellence across our community.
While ACP is a technology platform, its growth and impact are shaped by the people who use it every day. The feedback shared, the workflows refined, the features adopted, and the questions asked have all helped evolve ACP into what it is today.
These awards celebrate more than usage. They celebrate collaboration, leadership, curiosity, and partnership. Watch the recognition ceremony.
