Attendees will be invited to refresh their knowledge of Australian and New Zealand wine, challenge their perceptions and discover new wines that are in-market and seeking distribution.

They will taste the wines that have put Australia and New Zealand in the spotlight and discover exciting new styles emerging from the two countries.
