We also have one wine glass per producer table – more will be available for $10 per stem at the front desk on the day if possible.

You need to bring with you all other equipment and branding you need, such as collateral, cash float, mobile card payment machines. 

Note: Due to space constraints, pull up banners are not permitted. 

POWER

There is limited power at the venue so if you do have specific requirements, please let us know.

PEOPLES CHOICE

At each event we ask people to vote for their favourite producer on the day via iPads roving and at reception. By doing so, they go into the draw to wine some EPIC prizes. If someone says they love your wine, say ‘don’t forget to vote for us in the people’s choice’.

We will announce the TOP 3 at 4.20pm at the event

MARKETING AND PROMOTION

We love social and digital; it’s where we live. You should too – we know that the wineries who talk about their involvement in the lead-up sell more wine, get more votes in the People’s Choice, more visitors to their table, and are better in bed.

And we know how time poor everyone is so we’ve put together a social media cheat sheet to make it easier including suggested copy for instagram, facebook, twitter and your e-newsletter as well as images.

SOCIAL MEDIA CHEAT SHEET IS HERE! (link to come)

LICENCING & COMPLIANCE

Every city we exhibit in has different regulations surrounding consumption and sales at events. This is not only frustrating but time onerous. We share in your frustration and ask that you help us to ensure the process is as streamlined as possible.

FINAL DETAILS TBC

WINE REGISTRATION, SAMPLE STOCK & DELIVERY INFOMATION

WINE REGISTRATION

We recommend a maximum of 5 wines per winery registration. If you have more than this, please speak to Peter about what we can do.

REGISTER YOUR WINES

Before March 26th via THIS LINK.

SAMPLE & SALE STOCK

We anticipate you needing at least 9 units of each wine for tasting stock for the even. Please allocate more than this if you only have 1 or 2 wines on tasting.

Sale stock is in addition to this. Please note that any leftover stock needs to be taken with you on event day. We can’t take responsibility for stock left in the venue post-event.

SALES ON THE DAY

All sales on the day are managed by you so go nuts! We take no commission on sales which is even better.

SHIPPING

All wine must be brought with you on the day. We cannot consolidate shipping prior for this event. DO NOT SHIP DIRECT TO THE VENUE. If you do so, it will be turned back. Ensure your distributors / importers know this.

TASTING. NOT A DRINKING

We hate tokens as we believe it not only takes away from the customer experience, it limits them in the amount of wines they have access to. So all tastes are included in the ticket price.

However, please note, this is a wine ‘tasting’, not a ‘drinking’ so please ensure you pour a max of 15ml per person. This minimises wastage, spittoon maintenance and, most importantly, helps us manage intoxication issues. Less wine, less wastage, less issues. We recommend using slow pourers.

THE FINE PRINT

Or the not-so-fine – it’s big, bold, easy to read…

By registering to exhibit with us, you’re agreeing to these terms. It’s the stuff we promise, and the stuff we need you to promise, in how we work together and represent each other and the event.

Have a read HERE.

AND FINALLY ...

When it comes to wine, we’re about fun first and facts second. We believe people want to learn about wine the same way in which they consume it, socially.

So on the day, if we hear any mention of baume/brix levels, malolactic fermentation, lees stirring, stainless steel tanks, clonal selections or any other of that wine making process, we’ll yellow card you. We hear it again, it will be red!

Tell them about who you are. Why you’re there. Why you love what you do and what is special about your place. Tell them a story. Because people connect to people, not stainless steel tanks!

We know they want to get to know you more.

SEE YOU ALL ON THE FIELD!
