Wine Tasmania’s annual regional showcase is designed to show Australian wine lovers, sommeliers, restaurateurs and retailers the depth, breadth and exceptional quality and purity of our cool climate wines.

Consumer and trade visitors will be able to delve deeper into the wonders of Tasmanian wine with the annual tutored tasting. This year, the theme is “Shining Lights” conducted by Max Allen, wine writer for The Weekend Australian.
