The ASWS is the only Wine Show in Australia that provides the opportunity for a member of the public to go behind the scenes and experience what happens during a wine show. The “Judge for a Day” experience is a unique opportunity for the winner to be involved in all activities that occur during a Wine Show, from judging wines as an associate judge to participating as a steward pouring wines in the next class to be judged.

The opportunity to become a “Judge for a Day” at the 2022 ASWS will be auctioned at the 2021 Public Tasting. Good luck and happy Bidding.
