THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS EVENT - WE WERE DELIGHTED TO HOST IT

The Tasmanian wine community, through Wine Tasmania and in partnership with the Australian Wine Research Institute and Tasmanian Institute of Agricultural Research, is excited to be hosting the 8th International Cool Climate Symposium for Viticulture and Oenology (ICCS) in Hobart in February, 2012.

Tasmania is the only Australian state where its entire grape production is genuinely cool climate and we believe that Tasmanian wines are 'punching considerably above their weight' in relation to our tiny fraction of national production and the relative youth of the current industry. Presentation of the 8th ICCS program is undoubtedly the most ambitious and exciting project that we have ever undertaken.

We are delighted with the keynote visitors and also at the quality of abstracts and workshops that have been received. We are also excited about the social program and extra activities being developed, and the opportunity these provide to share Tasmania’s many delights with our ICCS friends and colleagues.

We very much look forward to welcoming you to Tasmania in February.

Chairman, 8th ICCS Planning Committee.
