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.

It’s time to spring into action and activate events in Victoria, and Melbourne Showgrounds is open for business.

Judging of the 2021 Melbourne Royal® Wine Awards is set to take place from Monday 15- Thursday 18 November at Melbourne Showgrounds.
