Regional Overview Regional Overview Visiting Australia? Discover our main wine states and regions Australian wine regions Australia is a large country - Margaret River is further from the Hunter Valley than Jerez in Spain is from Tokaji in Hungary - so, despite the distinctive national approach to wine, Australian wines are not all the same. The wines of Margaret River and of the Hunter Valley differ as much as sherry and tokay do. The three most important wine-producing states are South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. As well as bulk production, they each have specific premium wine regions. Read more about the wine regions of Australia here.

James Halliday explains the Australian show system...

Why is it that the wine show system in Australia is far more influential, important, and better-run that that of any other country? The short answer is that right from the outset of the system in the second half of the nineteenth century, both the exhibitors and the judges took the whole thing very seriously. Then, as now, the shows were run by the Agricultural Societies of the capital cities, and - as the importance of wine grew - at regional shows likewise run by local agricultural societies.
