*Somewhat Sommit in Perth has been postponed *
New Zealand Winegrowers is delighted to continue the partnership with Sommeliers Australia to present The Somewhat Sommit 2023 and The Altogether Unique Tasting in Sydney and Perth.
Based on New Zealand Winegrowers’ original Sommit format, Somewhat Sommit is a half day tasting and learning incursion, hosted by Cameron Douglas MS and Stephen Wong MW, and will be held in Sydney and Perth in September following successful events in Melbourne and Brisbane in June.
Cameron and Stephen will present wines and lead discussions into the nuances, intricacies and future direction of New Zealand wine, providing sommeliers and wine professionals with an opportunity to experience the diversity of New Zealand wine.
The Chardonnay flight will be a highlight of the tasting, along with smaller planted varieties and new wave New Zealand wines.
