Join us for a fast-paced tasting event to introduce Australia’s First Families of Wine. 11 multi-generational wine families have teamed up to showcase Australia’s rich wine heritage, celebrated wine stories, and modern diversity. In a speed-dating format - and against the clock - the 11 winery hosts will each have just 5 minutes to introduce their winery, family and special wine to the group before the bell rings for rotation. Following the hour long speed dating experience, guests will have a chance to mingle with the winery hosts for a walk-around tasting featuring additional wines from each winery.
