2025 COWRA WINE SHOW PUBLIC TASTING
The Cowra Wine Show Public Tasting and Australian Single Vineyard Wine Show is back for 2025! Cowra is proud to have one of Australia’s largest wine shows and the Public Tasting is a signature event in the Wine Show Calendar.
Test your wine tasting skills against expert judges and sample some of the best wines from Australia’s top wine-growing regions. The wine judges take a week to sniff, taste and spit their way through over 900 wines during the Cowra Wine Show week.
This event will give wine lovers an exclusive opportunity to sample the newly awarded gold, silver and bronze medal-winning wines. The vast array of wines has been entered by exhibitors from all the major wine-producing states in Australia.
We are pleased to welcome two exciting additions to the 2025 Public Tasting – beer from local brewery: Bulla Creek Brewing Co and live music from Dominic Lenaduzzi.
