Take 1200 years of history and collective winemaking experience, 16 Australian regions across four states and you have Australia’s First Families of Wine. Together they possess an impressive wealth of knowledge, a love and passion for their family business and an even more impressive array of some of Australia’s most iconic wines.
For the first time, they unlocked their cellars to share their flagship wines over an intimate 5 course dining experience which was hosted by the families themselves.
The dinner featured one carefully selected flagship wine from each family’s cellars. Ross Brown, Colin Campbell, d’Arry Osborn, Darren De Bortoli, Stephen Henschke, Jeff Burch, Peter Barry, Doug McWilliam, Alister Purbrick, Mitchell Taylor, Bruce Tyrrell and Robert Hill Smith shared their stories, presented their special wine and gave guests a snapshot of their family history as defining contributions to the Australian wine landscape.
