Wine in Australia originated in 1788 when Captain Arthur Phillip, of the first fleet brought vine cuttings into Australia from Europe.
They were planted where the Botanic Gardens are now situated in Sydney, but they did not thrive because of the unsuitable soil. It wasn't until John MacArthur planted vines in the fertile
Hunter Valley, north of Sydney, did they begin to thrive. Today, the Hunter Valley is one of the world`s best wine growing regions. Australian wines are now known to be some of world's best.
Join a wine tour to see and taste Australia's wide range of wine styles and varieties. You can meet famous winery owners, taste wines at their cellars doors, feast on
regional Australian fine foods and see the countryside on scenic journeys. Fortunately for tourists, four of Australia's most popular wine valleys are just a short drive outside its biggest cities - Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and Melbourne.
Choose from a one day tour to your favourite wine region through to a 12 day Wine Extravaganza. See Findawinery.com for a complete guide to Australian Wineries.
Many of the regions have Wine Trails, or Food and Wine Trails that you can explore yourself in your own car, or join a bus trip or wine tours.
Various Wine Festivals are also held throughout Australia to showcase local wines.
