Down Under Wine Tasting 2025
The Down Under Wine Tasting 2025 is an exciting opportunity to showcase the quality and diversity of Australian and New Zealand wine to trade and consumers in Poland.
Building on the success of previous #AussieWineInPoland events, the Down Under Wine Tasting 2025 will be a bigger event that includes both Australian and New Zealand exhibitors.
The event will take place in Warsaw in Poland on 13 March 2025, and it will be organised by Winokąt with the support of the Australian Embassy and New Zealand Embassy in Poland. Taking place just before ProWein in Germany between 16-18 March 2025, this enables wine producers and their representatives to plan their presence in Europe effectively.
The Down Under Wine Tasting comprises a walkaround trade tasting, masterclasses and an evening consumer tasting. This is great exposure for your winery amongst buyers and decision-makers. The event aims to attract 150 trade guests, including retail buyers, restaurateurs, importers, sommeliers and media, and around 100 consumers.
For wineries new to the market, this event is the best way to receive direct, first-hand feedback from importers as well as other players that influence buying decisions in the Polish market.
The event is also for wine exporters with an established market presence in Poland that are keen to support their importer to grow market share.
