Marlborough contestants will undergo a mix of practical and theoretical questions. They go head-to-head in the Vin Olympics event, as well as give a speech at the awards dinner.   

The winner of the regional competition will then move on to compete in the National competition against other regions.

The competition is open to those under 30 involved with wine production. This includes cellar hands, cellar managers, those working in the laboratory, assistant winemakers, and winemakers. It aims to help ambitious and passionate young people become future leaders of the NZ wine industry. It is a fantastic opportunity for emerging young winemakers to grow, develop and advance their careers.
