About Aussie Aussie Aussie: An Australian Wine Tasting

Listed Under Food and Drink Events / Workshops Events

Discover the Wildness of Australian Wines!

From the sun-drenched vineyards of the Barossa to the cool-climate elegance of Tassie, to big bold Margaret River, and of course the Yarra! Australia's diverse land produces an impressive array of world-class wines. We'll be exploring these classic regions, while also diving into the wonderful new-wave winemakers putting lesser explored regions, and styles, on the map.

The result? By the end you'll be shouting 'Aussie, Aussie, Aussie', and will have developed quite the thirst for wines from Down Under.
