About this tour

You'll walk through the country's wine history—from colonial plantings to contemporary producers—before sitting down to decode what makes each region distinctive. It's structured enough to learn, relaxed enough to enjoy.

What to expect
The tour kicks off with a guide walking you through the National Wine Centre's exhibition, breaking down Australia's regional diversity—terroir, varietals, and the people behind them. Expect detailed but digestible information, not lecture-hall dense. Once you've got your bearings, you'll move into the masterclass section. A sommelier will pour five carefully chosen wines, one at a time. They'll talk you through colour, aroma, and flavour, explaining why soil or climate matters to what's in your glass. It's hands-on tasting, not passive drinking—you'll be encouraged to taste, compare, and ask questions.
Good to know
The whole experience runs 90 minutes, so arrive 10 minutes early. Wear something you don't mind getting wine on. If you're driving, public transport is walkable from the venue; if you need parking, ask staff. The masterclass involves standing and holding glasses, but seating is available if needed.
