You are invited to join one of the most controversial conversations in Australian wine this year.

We don’t much speak of the subregions of Tasmania. This is because, strictly speaking, there aren’t any. According to the official Australian Geographical Indications, Tasmania is just one region. However, Tasmania has seven unofficial wine ‘zones,’ each of which has their own distinctive terroir and unique wine character.

The big debate in Australia’s island state right now is whether to register its distinct zones as official subregions. Some makers are vocally campaigning for this, while others are adamant that Tasmania should never be subdivided.

This masterclass is your opportunity to judge for yourself, by tasting wines from the leading producers across Tasmania’s different zones. Multi-award-winning wine communicator, Tasmanian born Tyson Stelzer has selected ten highlights from his favourite Tasmanian estates to guide you on a journey around the region’s flagship wine styles of sparkling and pinot noir.
