Overview

The Hunter Valley Boutique Winemakers Show is a competition to evaluate wine made from grapes grown in the Hunter Valley by Boutique Winemakers.

Run by the Hunter River Agricultural and Horticultural Association, this wine show gives an opportunity for you to observe some of the greatest wines being judge together in one place. The show is a great opportunity for the smaller producers to improve the standard of winemaking in the Hunter, provide a marketing tool and platform, train the judges of the future by providing the opportunity for a young winemaker to train as an Associate Wine Judge.

The judging will happen in the Thomas Morgan Pavilion of Maitland Showground and be led by chief judge and one of Australia’s foremost winemakers, Neil McGuigan.

A presentation dinner will follow on Friday at Rydges Resort, Hunter Valley. The general public may book a spot for dinner directly through the Maitland Showground. Guests will have the opportunity to experience the medal winning wines of the previous year.
