The Royal Agricultural Society of NSW (RAS) has been an influential force in the direction and development of Australian agriculture through competitions, education and events since its foundation in 1822. The RAS is a not-for-profit organisation committed to supporting agricultural development and rural communities in Australia.
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.
One of the most prestigious awards in
Australian agricultural fare.
Indulge your senses with award-winning wine, beer and cider as well as live music and grazing stations on the private Howie Pavilion Lawn at Sydney Showground.
