CONNECT was established to provide Australian wineries continued global trade marketing and exporting opportunities at a time of reduced travel due to the COVID pandemic. Due to its success, CONNECT will remain as an ongoing digital hub for Australian wine.  

The always-on platform will continue to host new content features and enable direct connections with buyers from around the globe. As physical events make a return, CONNECT will remain an integral part of your business toolkit, enabling you to feature and list your wines in the digital environment and securely capture leads from the event. No more lost papers!

Australian Wine CONNECT was the first platform of its kind in the global wine community and we invite you to be part of it.
