2018 Australia Day Tasting

Trade Event
Date: 29/01/2018 - 29/01/2018 Time: 12:00 - 18:00

The Australia Day Tasting, the largest trade tasting of Australian wine in Ireland, has a new venue.  In 2018, the event will take place in The Mansion House to accommodate even more wines, exhibitors and visitors.

There will be over 300 wines from 54 wineries. Some of the producers may be familiar names like De Bortoli and Vasse Felix, others will be new discoveries such as Howard Park and Voyager Estate that are seeking distribution.

This is also your chance to meet the people behind the wines. Winemakers and winery owners flying over for the event include Andrew Watson (Woodlands Wines), Chris Pfeiffer (Pfeiffer Wines) and Trevor Dickinson (Dickinson Estate Wines).

Don't  miss the Iconic Australia Focus Table. From fresh Hunter Valley Semillon to rich Rutherglen fortified wines, this area will give you a taste of Australia’s most enduring and iconic wine styles.

We hope you can join us to explore the quality and diversity of Australian wine.
