Open amateur winemaking competition organised by Frankston Amateur Winemakers Guild Inc. showcasing

The wine show is open to the public on Sunday 31 August 2014. Entry donation of $10 includes complimentary wine tasting wine glass. In addition to tasting the many wines available, you may meet the winemakers and learn the techniques required to make your own wine.
