Attendees will have the opportunity to taste a wide variety of wines, from everyday value bottles to exceptional premium wines, with some priced as high as £125 per bottle.
The festival is a “Walk Around” tasting, where you can meet wine importers and merchants, learn about the wines, and chat with Matthew Jukes himself. The event will be held in the stunning Main Hall of The Edinburgh Academy on Henderson Row. There will be two sessions, 12-3pm or 4-7pm.
There are Masterclasses too!
And it doesn’t stop there! We also have some fantastic 30 minute Masterclasses offering in-depth wine experiences. Booking in advance is advised for these.
All attendees will receive Matthew’s 100 Best Australian Wines 2025 booklet, containing detailed tasting notes, background information, and listings of the featured wines. The ticket costs £32, which includes the booklet valued at £75.
