Pembrokeshire County Council is a finalist in a brand new category introduced for the True Taste Wales Food and Drink Awards 2008/09.
Now in their seventh year, the awards recognise quality, innovation and excellence in the Welsh food and drink industry with hundreds of products and services judged each year.
The council has been nominated in the True Taste Food Tourism Destination category, which is designed to recognise contributions to promoting Wales as a food tourism destination.
Other finalists are Anglesey and Monmouthshire councils.
Kate Morgan, food officer for Pembrokeshire County Council, said she was delighted that the authority had been put forward.
"Food and tourism go hand-in-hand in Pembrokeshire," she said. "We have a wealth of high-quality local produce and a great deal of diversity, which has a huge impact in helping to promote Pembrokeshire as a visitor destination - especially as the provenance of our food and drink becomes ever-more important."
The category is open to individuals, partnerships or unitary authorities, which have contributed to promoting Wales as a food tourism destination.
The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony on Thursday, November 6, at the Vale Hotel, Golf and Spa Resort in Hensol near Cardiff.
