Together with Tasmania’s top eight winemakers, it’s my great pleasure to invite you to join me for my inaugural Tasmanian Wine Weekend on 23-25 May 2025.

I am excited to announce the ultimate opportunity to immerse yourself in the places, people and processes behind not only Tasmania’s greatest sparkling wines, but its finest pinot noirs, chardonnays and rieslings, too.

My Tasmania Wine Weekend represents the next level of evolution in an immersive experience of what makes the wines of Tasmania so unique and so special, following on from the runaway success of my Sparkling Saffire Weekends over the past eight years, my Tasmanian Showcase events in London, New York, San Francisco, Hong Kong and Brisbane, and Effervescence Tasmania over eleven years.

Join me at the conclusion of vintage 2025 in the Coal River and Derwent Valleys to walk the rows of the vines with their viticulturists and taste the ferments in the barrel halls with their makers. Enjoy lavish lunches, a cocktail-style dinner, prestige sparkling masterclass and gala dinner, all in the presence of Anna Pooley and Justin Bubb (Pooley Estate), Steve and Monique Lubiana (Stefano Lubiana), Natalie Fryar and Hugh McCullough (Bellebonne and Wellington & Wolfe), Ed and Jen Carr (House of Arras) and Liam McElhinney (Lowestoft).

Coinciding with the 30^th anniversary of House of Arras and the 10^th anniversary of Bellebonne, the weekend will showcase more than 40 of the benchmark wines of current and back vintages from each of these six legendary estates, intricately matched to dishes crafted from the finest and freshest Tasmanian ingredients.

From your arrival on Friday 23 May until departure on Sunday 25 May, this all-inclusive weekend features all wines, meals, transfers via Apple Isle Tours and your choice of the finest local luxury accommodation at Prospect Country House, Acquila Eco Resort or Travelodge Hotel Hobart Airport. Special rates are also available to extend your stay.

There will be free time for an optional helicopter tour, round of golf, or just to relax in the spectacular scenery of southern Tasmania!

My Tasmanian Wine Weekend has been in the making for more than two-and-a-half years, and I am very excited to welcome you back to experience the incredible people, places and wines of Tasmania!
