The Year’s Events
The Association aims to provide a congenial forum for members to share their experiences and views.
There are usually two or three meetings a year: a Spring Meeting, usually in March, that includes our AGM, sometimes a Summer Meeting in June, which is an opportunity for members to visit another member’s vineyard and/or winery and in September we meet for the awards ceremony of our Annual Competition, which is a competition for members' wines, judged to international standards.
We generally make a small charge for regional meetings to cover lunch and any venue costs, so that the costs fall on those that attend rather than the whole membership.
Following the AGM in 2018, we have, additionally, been running more frequent, low-cost, informal, discussion visits to member vineyards where we aim to get together and learn from each other.
