Australian Trade and Investment Commission Japan and Wine Australia are excited to invite you to participate in the Australian Wine: Tokyo Trade Tasting 2022! The in-person tasting event for Japan's most influential wine trade and media, will showcase and celebrate Australian wines being enjoyed in Japan and the people, places and stories that make our wine unique.

We are pleased to present this opportunity to unite after a difficult trading time, and embrace the Australian spirit that brings us together in celebration of the wine we produce. Supported by an education program, we will demonstrate unified support from Australia for the Japanese wine trade and reconnect with old and new friends in this face-to-face tasting event.

Continually fueled by the Japan-Australia Economic Partnership Agreement (JAEPA), Australian wine exports to Japan have increased from $39 million to $50 million since the JAEPA ratified on 15 January 2015, with a 15% increase in the previous 12 months despite the challenging operating environment.

This tasting showcase will be open to existing wineries in market via representation at the event by their importer or agent, and will culminate in networking drinks for participating importers and delegates. The event will be held at Happo-en on 11th October 2022 and we anticipate approximately 400 media and trade guests will attend.
