Aussie Wine Month, an initiative of Wine Australia, encourages wine drinkers to discover the diversity, quality and regionality of our local wines and share their discoveries by including #AussieWineMonth in their social media posts.

Aussie Wine Month events will take place around the country, making it a great time to plan a wine weekend getaway, try a new wine style or explore the wines of some of Australia’s lesser known wine regions. With 65 Australian wine regions to choose from, there’s plenty for the wine lover to discover right on their doorstep.

There’ll be wineries and regions hosting tastings, dinners, winery walks, festivals and pop-up cellar doors while a range of pubs, bars and restaurants will have an all-Australian wine-by-the-glass list for the month of May.

Share your love for Aussie wine on social media using the #AussieWineMonth hashtag and you could win a dozen bottles of Australian wine valued at more than $400. Visit the Aussie Wine Month site for more details.
