Applications are now open to exhibit at 2022 Melbourne Royal Show, Victoria’s largest and most iconic community event.

We proudly held two highly successful Melbourne Royal events back-to-back last week in the Victoria Pavilion. On Wednesday 1 December, we held a stylish cocktail presentation to announce the trophy winners for the 2021 Melbourne Royal Australian Distilled Spirits Awards and on Thursday 2 December we held the trophy presentation dinner for the 2021 Melbourne Royal Wine Awards.

The recent easing of COVID restrictions has pleasingly enabled us to proceed with judging of the 2021 Melbourne Royal Wine Awards this week. More than 2,300 wines are being judged by 21 industry experts across four days at Melbourne Showgrounds. Established in 1884, the Melbourne Royal Wine Awards is one of Australia’s oldest and most respected wine shows recognising and rewarding excellence in Australian winemaking with the Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy for best two-year-old red or younger, being one of the feature trophies to win.

Formed in March 2021, the Melbourne Royal® Emerging Leaders Group is a platform for young Victorian agri-professionals aged 18-35 to make a valuable contribution to promoting agriculture, cultivating events and strengthening communities.

Since 1872, the Melbourne Royal® Dog Show has grown into the Australia’s leading All-Breeds Championship Show, with more than 3,900 entries across 200 breeds competing over nine days during the annual Melbourne Royal® Show at Melbourne Showgrounds, Ascot vale.
