Exquisite Media has collected a Gold and a Silver at the 2026 Davey Awards. The honours span two of our titles, from our dining magazine to lifestyle publication.
As the saying goes, don’t judge a book by its cover; the same outlook applies to magazines. This is the thought behind the Davey Awards, organised each year by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts, awarding publications of all sizes based on their editorial merit. Among this year’s honourees are two titles by Exquisite Media Group, which took home one Gold and one Silver.
Exquisite Taste was awarded Gold in the Consumer-Editorial Multi-Page category. Under the cover line Celebrating the Icons and Timeless Craft, the issue turns the spotlight on Exquisite’s Best Restaurants & Bars, our annual awards for the kitchens and bars at the top of their game. This year’s judging panel was led by culinary veteran William Wongso, Rinrin Marinka, Devina Hermawan, Yuda Bustara, and Maurizio Bombini, while Lenny Marlina Tanu, Mirwansyah ‘Bule’, and Agung Satria Wibawa rounding out the roster.
Asia Dreams, our travel and property title, received Silver in the same category for an issue devoted to the Ultimate Family Vacation. Anya Geraldine fronts the cover in sharp black tailoring, and the pages behind her plan a holiday for every generation. The journey runs from snow-covered winter escapes to sunny short breaks closer to home, each chosen with both parents and children in mind. Interviews with hospitality leaders complete the issue, offering a look at who is making those holidays possible. Readers should expect to close the magazine with a fuller wish list and, quite possibly, a booking or two confirmed before the weekend.
These awards belong to the Exquisite Media team, led by CEO and Publisher Lenny Marlina Tanu, and equally to the partners and venues who trust us with their stories. We intend to keep telling those stories with the same care, one issue at a time. A good cover may open the door, but it is the stories inside that keep readers in the room. We are grateful the judges stayed until the very last page, and we look forward to giving them even more to read next year.
