[NSW] Immerse Tumbarumba: a regional immersion initiative

 * Applications close Friday 14 October *

In conjunction with Sommeliers Australia, Tumbarumba Vignerons Association invites Sommeliers Australia Professional members to apply for Immerse Tumbarumba, a unique three day immersion opportunity.

Immerse Tumbarumba will bring together sommeliers, buyers, writers and members of trade to picturesque Tumbarumba to experience everything this emerging wine region has to offer.

Historically a region that has contributed to some of Australia’s best Sparkling wines, Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs, the Tumbarumba region, its wineries and brands are growing from strength to strength.

Immerse Tumbarumba is offering the opportunity for up to five Sommeliers Australia members to be transported to Tumbarumba the morning of Monday 21 November and over the following two days experience a vineyard walk and talk, three wine masterclasses, dinners, the chance to take a helicopter flight over the region and more, before departing on Wednesday 23 November.
