While wine is certainly the centrepiece of the afternoon, we’re also celebrating some of the best in South Australian music, food and design. There will also be a rolling timetable of discussions set around a JamFactory installation, giving attendees the opportunity to come to the table and hear about the current wine landscape, the people at the centre of it, and its intersections with other parts South Australian life.

Live DJ sets from Messin’ Around (Troy J Been and Oisima) and Skin Contact will provide the tunes for the afternoon, while there will be a veritable smorgasboard of brilliant SA food purchasable from Comida, NOLA, Kris Lloyd and Levodo, Steven Ter Horst, smallgoods and bakery item tastings from the next generation of homegrown chefs at TAFE SA, plus non-alcoholic drinks from Cape Grim and Aquasano.
