regional food matched with a glass of premium Canberra Wine to visitors
at each winery.

special joys and discoveries for both the Foodie and the Wine

The event starts with the Cool Climate Wine Show awards dinner on
Friday night, and the public tasting on Saturday morning.
Visitors can move between wineries for the most fantastic dining
experience from 10am to 5pm both days.
They can plan a menu of entrée sized dishes to suit their
personal tastes with a complementary glass of premium wine (and the
branded glass is theirs to keep).

sponsors, including Ernst and Young, ActewAGL, Radio Canberra 2CC /
