About the Show

After a seven-year absence, the French Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FACCI), is pleased to reintroduce its renowned Concours des Vins du Victoria, a celebration and tribute to the diversity and excellence of Victorian winemakers and "terroirs".

Established in 1990, and traditionally sponsored by Air Liquide​, our Concours has consistently united two proud wine-producing cultures, French and Australian, in an environment where Victorian terroirs and aromas harmonise with the French palate.

WHY ENTER?

Our competition is a testament to the strong bond between the French-Australian wine community, celebrating the fusion of two rich winemaking traditions. Participating in our Concours is an opportunity for Victorian wineries to have their wines evaluated by some of the most respected names in the French-Australian wine industry. 

What truly sets this competition apart is its unmatched commitment to excellence, with a judging panel comprising renowned French-Australian wine importers, taste experts, sommeliers, and winemakers, all of whom bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the table.
