Drop in for half an hour or settle in for half a day to taste, network, learn and snack, with culinary delights from Lee Ho Fook.

This is a trade-only tasting event, exclusive to the hospitality industry. It's free to attend, and registrations are essential.

It's an initiative of the Victorian Drinks Alliance, a collaboration between Food + Drink Victoria (the not-for-profit behind Melbourne Food & Wine Festival), Cider Australia, Independent Brewers Association, Spirits Victoria and Wine Victoria.

Whether you’re new to the trade or a WSET Jedi doing your MS and MW back-to-back, you’ll find plenty at the tasting to sharpen up your venue’s drinks offering and enrich your own understanding of who’s making what right now, right here in Victoria. We’ll see you there.
