Explore the diversity of Australian wine, taste the country’s iconic styles, discover new trends and meet the winemakers.

With ancient soils, innovative winemakers and diverse climates, Australia has so much to offer. Home to more than 150 grape varieties across 65 wine regions, our creative winemakers are pushing the boundaries and are crafting some of the most exciting wines in the world.

Wine Australia is delighted to return to Edinburgh, the first time since 2020, to showcase the quality and diversity of Australian wine. This is your chance to discover new wines, revisit the classics and meet the makers.

There will be more than 350 wines from over 70 producers, ranging from the international superstars to the small boutique newbies.

  • Wines from more than 30 regions across Australia
  • 40 grape varieties – signature styles as well as alternative varieties
  • Regional heroes like Barossa Shiraz, McLaren Vale Grenache, Yarra Valley Pinot Noir, Margaret River Chardonnay and Clare Valley Riesling
  • Sparkling, fortified and sweet wines
  • Low and no alcohol wines
  • Organic wines and wines from Sustainable Winegrowing Australia members

Taste crisp vibrant whites, standout sparklings, elegant reds and thrilling alternative varieties. From the rogue to the refined, you’ll discover Australian wines that are far from ordinary.

The tasting booklet with the wines and more information about the wineries will be published in early January. A printed version of the tasting booklet will be available on the day.

We’re delighted to welcome Australian winemakers and winery principals to the event. We’ll share a list of visiting Aussies pouring their wines at the tasting shortly.
