The 6th New England Regional Wine Show will be held on the 13th, 14th, & 15th October 2010.

The New England area is unlike any other grape growing region in Australia. This is due the regions diversity from high altitude (with a good number of vineyards above 1,000m), cool climate vineyards along the spine of the Great Dividing Range to the lower and warmer sites on the western edges of the New England Tablelands.

Additionally, winemakers from adjacent viticultural areas were also invited to exhibit at the New England Regional Wine Show. These adjacent areas are Hastings, Namoi Valley, Northern Slopes outside New England, Western Plains, Granite Belt and the Tamworth area.

Every year The New England Regional Wine Show invites all vignerons & winemakers making wines using grapes from these areas to exhibit at the New England Regional Wine Show. This will be a great opportunity to see the high standard of the local wines and compare them to wines from the other invited regions.

Information on The New England Regional Wine Show 2010 will be posted as it comes to hand.

For Further information on the New England Wine Show please email newenglandwineshow@active8.net.au
