Winetopia starts with a line-up of incredible wineries who gather to share with you their best drops.
It's a journey of discovery and it's one worth taking.

What to look forward to?
-
Many of the wines this year will be from the incredible 2020 vintage. It was one for the record books, a bumper season for vineyards around the country, despite a difficult Lockdown harvest. This is your chance to try them all!
-
If you've been to Winetopia before you'll know to expect a great line-up of talks and tastings led by wine gurus, fun sommeliers and the odd famous face! This year's line-up will be released soon and will not let you down.
-
Engaging surprises, exciting aesthetics and an atmosphere that is positively electric.
-
Will each session finish on a crescendo with a live musical act? Why yes, but this is not a jazz quartet in the corner. More like something to blow out the cobwebs... Introducing; The Panic Band!
-
Our Golden Coins proved super popular last year, they're back! Grab yourself some of these and you'll be able to try a fresh line-up of some of the most celebrated wines in the country. These wines are pushing over $100 per bottle at retail and this is your chance to try them.
See you at Winetopia!
