The two titans of tannins, the masters of maceration: In a bitter battle of body and bouquet, Australia and America go toe-to-toe in this battle royale. Will the Barrons of Barossa defeat the Knights of Napa? Will Walla Walla wallop Western Australia? Will Strathbogie squeeze Sonoma into sangria? To answer these questions, you’ll need to attend!

Our versus classes are designed to be an enjoyable class that contrasts the styles of two major wine countries. America VS Australia is part of a series of classes that include France VS Italy,  France Vs Greece, Italy VS Spain, and several others.
