After an incredible inaugural event in 2025, we’re coming back bigger and better to sip, taste and celebrate the very best of the Tamar Valley.

11:30am to 6:30pm
Exeter Showgrounds

Adults: $20 per person + Booking Fee

A reusable $5 tasting glass will be available to purchase on-site. Use it throughout the event and take it home as a keepsake of a memorable day.
