About the Boutique Wine Awards

The Australian & New Zealand Boutique Wine Awards, founded in 1996, is one of the oldest wine awards in Australia specifically focussed on the small winemakers crushing 250 tonne or less and being independently owned and operated. These wineries are the heart and soul of the Australian & New Zealand industries – often the cutting edge for innovation. We celebrate and promote these maverics and trailblazers every year through the Boutique Wine Awards.
