Presented at the Ian Armstrong building on Prince Street, Tom Ward's cool climate wines picked up a number of the show's top gongs, including best wine of show and best red wine of show.
Best older chardonnay, best pinot noir and best shiraz also went to Swinging Bridge Wines.
The top wine of the show picked up most of those accolades, with Mr Ward's 2021 William J. Shiraz crowned the best wine of show, as well as best red wine and best shiraz.
Mark Pengilly took out the Vigneron of the Year while Ross Hill Wines won the Cellar Door of the Year crown.
Judging for the awards took place in Orange on Monday and Tuesday.
Residents and visitors to Orange during the Orange Wine Festival in October will have the opportunity to taste the trophy and medal winning wines and see if they agree with the judges' decisions at the Orange Wine Show Tasting at the Hotel Canobolas on October 14.
