The 26th Annual Geelong Wine Show Awards Dinner

For 26 years, the Geelong Wine Show, proudly presented by bay 93.9, has celebrated the artistry and variety of wines crafted across the Geelong Wine Region. This year, the celebration reaches new heights.

Join us at Flying Brick Cider Co on Saturday, November 29th, for the highly anticipated Awards Dinner. This is the region's premier evening to recognise the producers, judges, and enthusiasts who elevate Geelong wine.

The evening begins with canapés and the region’s finest Best Sparkling served on arrival, a perfect opening.

Settle in for a luscious three-course menu showcasing premium local ingredients, thoughtfully paired with an array of exceptional Geelong wines. Throughout the night, enjoy the unfolding drama as the 2025 Trophy-winners are revealed, with the celebrated wines poured at your long, communal banquet-style table.

This is more than a dinner; it is an opportunity to connect with producers, sponsors, industry professionals, and fellow wine lovers. Expect seamless proceedings interspersed with breaks for conversation and live music.

Your Master of Ceremonies for the evening is Jay Bessell, sommelier and wine educator from City Wine Shop and Glass Half Full Consulting. Jay's deep knowledge and passion for wine make him the ideal guide for this prestigious celebration.
