Taste Champagne

September 1st not only marks the official start of Spring in the Southern hemisphere, but also Australia’s inaugural invitation to “Taste Champagne”, an exciting new annual champagne roadshow featuring latest release tastings from 52 champagne houses, growers and co-operatives. Hosted in Sydney and Melbourne by multi-award winning wine writer Tyson Stelzer, author of The Champagne Guide, this industry first event showcases the exceptional diversity of Champagne by presenting well-known global prestige brands such as Dom Perignon and Krug alongside accessibly priced family owned grower champagne gems such as Pierre Gimonnet and Laherte Freres. Morning and afternoon sessions are dedicated to media and trade visitors, but evening sessions in both cities provide a rare opportunity for champagne loving members of the public to explore behind the scenes to discover new unfamiliar champagne brands and become re-acquainted with their old favourites…
