The 2010 Landmark Australia Tutorial promises to again deliver an unrivalled opportunity to taste Australia’s finest wines, and learn about regional differences and current developments from some of the country’s most awarded winemakers.

Participant, Mr Lim Hwee Peng from Singapore, offered his reflection on the inaugural Landmark Australia Tutorial earlier this year: “Just when you thought you knew all about Australian wines, here is one program that smacks your assumption flat on the wall, with its diversity, finesse, huge potentials in fine winemaking, and watch this space pronouncement. It is hard to continue enjoying, talking or even buying Australian wines without looking at it from a new angle.”
