Discover the diversity of Australian wine at the AAVWS Public Tasting.

Step into the world of alternative varieties at our signature tasting event, where hundreds of medal-winning wines from the 2024 Australian Alternative Varieties Wine Show will be available to sample. This is a rare chance for wine lovers, industry professionals, and curious palates alike to explore the breadth and brilliance of emerging styles from across Australia and New Zealand all in one place.

We believe it’s the most exciting collection of progressive wines gathered under one roof anywhere in the world.
