Margaret River Wine Show finds new home at HEART

The Langton’s 2020 Margaret River Wine Show will take place at a new state-of-the-art venue this year, the Margaret River HEART.

After a number of years judging by the beautiful Geographe Bay, judging by a team of talented Western Australian judges will commence at the new venue on Monday 16 November.

Margaret River Wine Show Committee Chair Julian Langworthy, said these challenging times also allow for great opportunities.

“We are very excited to bring together a stella all WA based judging panel for this year’s Langton’s Margaret River Wine Show coupled with a brilliant new venue”, she said.

The Halliday Australian Cabernet Challenge which has been judged in conjunction with the Margaret River Wine Show since 2016 will become a stand-alone event.

Planning is underway for the competition to be judged simultaneously in the Coonawarra, Margaret River and the Yarra Valley in September. More details about this exciting collaboration will be available soon.

Margaret River Wine Association CEO Amanda Whiteland, said they are very pleased with the easing of restrictions in WA which is allowing them to continue with the 19th Margaret River Wine Show – as it is an important event for the local wine industry.

“While the difficulties of 2020 are making way for some exciting new positive changes, we are looking forward to welcoming our interstate and international judges back to the Margaret River Wine Show in 2021.”
