The inaugural Landmark Australia Tutorial occurred the week of June 1-5, and marked the Australian wine industry’s most significant investment to date in telling Australia’s fine wine story to an international audience. Aimed at celebrating Australian excellence not just in wine, but also in terms of food, hospitality and tourism, 12 of the world’s most influential wine media and educators were hosted by Wine Australia in the Barossa Valley, before travelling further afield. The tutorial was presented by the country’s leading winemakers and commentators, and accompanied by an original series of seminars devised uniquely for the event.
Participants from the US included, Dr. Tyler Colman (drvino.com) and Sean Razee, MS. Dr. Tyler Colman commented, “The Landmark Australia Tutorial is a superb opportunity to learn about and taste through the diversity of Australian wine today–as well as excellent mature wines!” Mr Sean Razee MS described it as a “rare and exciting opportunity to discuss and reflect on the voice of Australian wines past, present and future”
