11:00am – 12:30pm – Trade Seminar (Seating Limited) 

12.30pm – 3:30pm – Trade Walkaround Tasting

Wine Australia’s Mark Davidson will lead the seminar, Style Shifts: Australia’s Varietal Evolution, and the discussion will focus on how Australian winemakers are adapting to a changing environment and global marketplace, experimenting with emerging varieties and evolving wine styles to shape Australian wine’s sustainable future.

The walkaround tasting will focus exclusively on Australia’s white and sparkling wines, from more than 15 wine regions, showcasing a broad range of varieties and styles, from Hunter Valley Semillon and Eden Valley Riesling to Tasmanian sparkling, Margaret River Chardonnay, and emerging varieties like Fiano and Vermentino. All paired with small bites that illustrate the food-friendly, vibrant styles that are defining modern Australian wine.

Please register to confirm your attendance, and we look forward to hosting you on April 28.
