Dates have been announced for the 2019 Singapore Airlines Swan Valley Wine Show.

Presented by the Swan Valley & Regional Winemakers Association, the show is recognised as one of the premier regional wine shows in Western Australia. Now in its 31st year, the show celebrates the region's longstanding tradition of winemaking.

Each year hundreds of wines are submitted by wineries from the Swan Valley and Greater Perth Zone. Renowned for its Croatian and southern Italian heritage, the Swan Valley is the oldest wine region in Western Australia and the second oldest in Australia. In 2019, the Swan Valley celebrates 185 years of winemaking.

Judging for this year's Swan Valley Wine Show will take place on Wednesday 6 November, followed by the exhibitor’s tasting on Thursday 7 November at Caversham House.

The winners will be unveiled at an illustrious Gala Awards Dinner at Mandoon Estate on November 8, which will showcase local wines and fine food during a 3-course meal and trophy presentation.
