MEMBER EVENTS COVID - 19 ALERT STATUS *Normally we would have a series of trade and consumer tastings scheduled across Australia at major function venues but with the current social distancing and constantly changing event rules in place this is clearly impossible. Although many events have been fortunate enough to resume in limited capacities, due to the nature of our events and the number of wines, people and the ability to self-pour at our public tastings it is a logistical nightmare with unfortunately too many liabilities to proceed at this time. It seems pointless to flag future possibilities at this stage when we don’t know when things will return to normal or rules will be relaxed. We regret not being able to give you more information, particularly to those sponsors, our valued members and supporters who love attending our events. Stay safe and healthy and as things evolve we will keep you updated. Event cancellations will be posted on our events section of our website.
