Vitamin water is a beverage that consists of water with added water-soluble vitamins. Most producers offer different vitamin water flavors sweetened with sugar or other natural and artificial sweeteners.

When individuals or organizations achieve "greatness" in any area, others like to know about it. Whether their accomplishment is demonstrated by winning a championship or receiving an award, it helps people know how to rank them. Drinking water is no different.

Knowing where your food, water, and clothes come from can be both an enlightening and an empowering realization.

We’re proud to say that Eldorado Natural Spring Water has won many awards. This includes a Gold Medal last year for Best Municipal Water in the U.S., and Second Best in the World, at the prestigious Berkeley Springs International Tasting. There, in what is referred to as the Academy Awards of water tasting, a panel of food critics and journalists assesses water samples based on taste, odor, mouthfeel, and aftertaste, and recognizes excellence. But, we can’t blame you if you feel that claims of “best” are a dime a dozen. If we were in your shoes, we’d demand some verification.

Journey with us to the Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting for an up-close look at the competition that put us on the map.
We at Eldorado Springs have realized that not everyone is as passionate about water as we are. And that’s ok! It would be a bit odd if you were. With that being said, we would like to nerd out for a moment and reflect on one of the most important weekends of the year for us in the water world: the Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting.
