ensuring that the fresh produce to be served is sourced locally.

It will be a showcase of the region’s best wine and food.”

There will be a number of other wine events over this Mothers Day weekend, with many of Cowra and Canowindra’s cellar doors offering vertical

tastings, barrel tastings, food matching and much more.

“There is an eclectic range of fantastic wines in the region,” commented Cowra Regional Vineyards Association President, Tom Ward.

“The quality of Cowra’s wines has been steadily increasing over the past few vintages, with a number of wineries receiving national and international wine show recognition, not to mention some great results in the NSW Wine Awards.”

“The Cowra Regional Wine Awards Weekend is a way of introducing these winemakers, in a very welcoming and relaxed environment, to customers that may not necessarily know a lot about Cowra.”

Cowra Regional Wine Awards: This will be the inaugural Regional Wine Awards with three judges assessing the region’s wines. As well as the degustation dinner, there will be an exhibitors tasting session with the judges.
