The Aussies and Kiwis have lots in common: fine wine, great food, stunning scenery, the cool Southern Ocean and also our cool Antipodean attitude. 

Our wines are an expression of our distinctive terroirs and the vibrant communities that craft them. Perfecting traditional techniques and inventing our own ways of doing things, we push the boundaries in the pursuit of the most diverse, thrilling wines in the world. 

In this trade tasting, explore the wines that have put Australia and New Zealand in the spotlight and discover exciting new styles that are coming out of the two countries today. Uncover regional and stylistic differences, find out about winemaking techniques and innovative spirit, and look into the future of Australian and New Zealand wine.

Don’t miss the ‘Sommelier Selections’ feature table with 40 Australian and New Zealand wines that sommeliers have nominated. Selected by the UK’s leading sommeliers, these are the Australian and New Zealand wines that most excite them - wines that have ignited a love for the region or with special significance.

Sommeliers, on-trade buyers and independent off-trade buyers that attend the tasting have the chance to win a trip to Australia. Attending the tasting completes one of the criteria for your trip entry, and we also ask you to let us know how you would utilise a visit to Australia to raise the profile of Australian wine. The entry requirements and more details about the competition are on our website here.
