As Australia's oldest wine show, we have never rested on our laurels. For two centuries, we have helped raise the quality of Australian wine as styles and tastes have evolved. With some of Australia's leading wine professionals evaluating every entry, a Sydney Royal medal is a genuine mark of quality.
Last year, almost 2000 wines from 250+ exhibitors were assessed - over 15,000 glasses poured to judges and panels. Entries open 22 April and close 20 May 2026.
Join us for an evening celebrating Australia’s most progressive food and beverage producers, as the 2026 President’s Medal finalists are recognised and the recipient of one of Australian agriculture’s most prestigious awards is announced.
Sydney to Host the 2028 Commonwealth Agricultural Conference
The Royal Agricultural Society of NSW is proud to announce that Sydney has been selected to host the 2028 Commonwealth Agricultural Conference, following a successful bid to the Royal Agricultural Society of the Commonwealth (RASC). Scheduled for April 2028, the conference will run alongside the Sydney Royal Easter Show, creating a powerful platform to showcase the strength, diversity and innovation of New South Wales agriculture.
Each year, every Show Society in NSW has the chance to nominate a deserving individual who has made a meaningful contribution to their Show Society. We encourage all Shows to complete the application to help us recognise and celebrate the invaluable role that regional Agricultural Shows play—not only in advancing Australian agriculture, but also in strengthening their local communities. Let’s honour these achievements together!
