The event was so successful that we decided to invite a selection of those women to submit wines for this focus table tasting. Covering a wide range of regions and styles, we invite you to discover the quality and diversity of Australian wine made by women winemakers and from women winery owners. From Margaret River in the west via the regions in South Australia to the Hunter Valley in the east, this is a small snapshot of the continually evolving story that is Australian wine.
