The Results Catalogue will be available at the conclusion of the 2024 Sydney Royal Wine Show, and can be downloaded
from the Wine Show Results page.
Results are listed by Class order, and the score and any medal the wine won will be noted.
There are many wines available to taste at the event and we want to ensure that our guests have the opportunity to experience several wines.
Unfortunately, we don't have enough wine for everyone to have a taste of everything and there may be wines that are more popular with guests than others are.
The white wine is not chilled so that you can experience and taste the wine as the judges do in the judging process. Chilling wine dulls its taste and flavour, so serving it at room temperature allows all aromas to be at their peak.
A wide range of medal-winning produce will be showcased on the grazing tables for all attendees to enjoy and hot food will be available to purchase at the event.
For the safety and comfort of all guests, we have a cloakroom available for large bags to be held on your behalf.
