The Horticulture Media Association of South Australia invites you to kick off the festive season with a special behind-the-scenes experience celebrating the wonderful connection between horticulture, viticulture, and Australian wine!
Join us for an engaging tour of the National Wine Centre of Australia, where Andrew Bruce, Head Sommelier, will guide us through the Centre and share insights into its role in the wine industry, along with a few fascinating stories from Australia’s rich wine heritage.
We’ll then head outdoors to explore the Adelaide Botanic Vineyard with Walter Dollman from the Amateur Winemakers and Brewers Club of Adelaide (AWBCA), discovering more about the vineyard and its place in the world of wine.
To round off the afternoon, we’ll enjoy a tasting of the Adelaide Botanic Rosé, accompanied by light refreshments — the perfect opportunity to relax, learn something new and catch up with fellow horticulture enthusiasts.
