What's on in Aussie wine
There's always another wine festival around the corner. Aussies are great lovers of all types of events, sporting, cultural but most of all festivals. There are so many to choose from.
Maybe you are planning a holiday in Australia and would like to catch up on some wine. A convenient way is go to a wine festival, there you can taste wine from dozens of wineries all at once.

- Great lens, particularly for those who want to come down under and try a glass. All the festivals listed here look like a great opportunity to try the local vintages. What are the best festivals that people would recommend for first timers to try out when they visit and why?

- Excellent information! I first had Australian wine a few years ago and it wasn't the best experience. I stopped trying them for awhile until one day my father mentioned one that he absolutely loved. Coincidentally, the next day I saw the same wine at Whole Foods and decided to pick it up. I'm really glad I did because I fell in love with it! I am now a huge fan of many different reds from Australia.
Regards,
Jake
