Taste Champagne is back in 2026 and we are delighted to invite you to join us for our 40th, 41st and 42nd events! Australia is one of the most dynamic champagne markets in the world, and for the past 13 years Taste Champagne has established itself as the biggest global champagne showcase and the ultimate opportunity to reconnect with champagne’s top houses, growers and coopératives and all their new cuvées.
Taste Champagne is a grand roadshow tasting at which the importing agents present their houses. In 2025, Taste Champagne Australia showcased more than 150 cuvées from 50 houses!
Coming to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane in July and August 2026, we are pleased to announce that we are returning to the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney.
Taste Champagne is hosted by Tyson Stelzer, International Wine & Spirit Communicator of the Year and BlackEvents.
