This year marks 200 years since wine was first included in the Agricultural Society of NSW Show – and the Sydney Royal Wine Show was born – so there is a lot to celebrate!​

A Sydney Royal Trophy is now one of the most recognised and trusted marks in Australian wine and in​ a milestone year like this, that recognition carries more weight than ever.

​Be in the room to hear directly from RAS of NSW about their rich history and be the first to discover from the wine show judges which wines and winemakers will be shining a light into the future. Then try ALL these newly-crowned, trophy-winning wines alongside a stunning 3-course lunch crafted by the talented chefs at The Four Seasons.

Reasons to attend:

✨ The lunch will include some ‘extras’ for the 200 years’ celebrations of Australian wine excellence, to help our guests enjoy this historic milestone.
🏆 Trophy Tasting – In addition to the ten awarded wines served with the lunch, you will also be able to try ALL the other trophy winning wines. Taste the 2026 champions, just moments after they are revealed to the world.
🥂Be in the room to hear the announcement of the 2026 NSW Legend of the Vine

🎁Take home gift – The Royal Agricultural Society of NSW is providing a gift to each guest to mark the occasion of the 200th Sydney Royal Wine Show.
🍾 Have the opportunity to enter the legendary WCA Raffle and win some amazing wine prizes (nearly $11K worth of prizes to be won!)

🛏️ Stay Over – The Four Seasons Sydney is offering our guests a special room rate of only $400 per night for a Deluxe City King room, for those who wish to stay. Email us on wca@winecommunicators.com.au to arrange this for you.
