This is an opportunity to explore the Australian wine scene, discover new wines, meet winery representatives and catch up with the Wine Australia team.
Wine Australia will be returning to Wine Paris for the second time, with a larger presence in the international hall.
Our new stand will feature winery booths, regional booths, meeting space and a masterclass area.
We’ll be showcasing more than 250 wines from 30 wineries across Australia. Revisit signature styles like Margaret River Chardonnay, Clare Valley Riesling, Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, McLaren Vale Grenache and Barossa Valley Shiraz. It’s also a chance to try alternative varieties from Victoria, Marsanne and Roussanne blends from the Pyrenees, and natural and minimal intervention wines.
The line-up also features cool climate wines from Tasmania, certified organic wines, and no and low alcohol wines from Victoria. Whether it's iconic wines or new wave styles, there's something for every buyer.
Browse the exhibiting wineries below and find out more by clicking through to their profile page. Check out their wines, read about the winery and winemakers, and see which locations they’re seeking distribution in. You can also connect with the wineries in advance for further product information, pricing and to book in a meeting.
Over the three days, we will be running 10 masterclasses on our stand. See below for more information about the sessions and the presenters. We aren’t taking registrations for the masterclasses, just turn up on the day. We recommend arriving early as spaces are limited.
