Sommeliers Australia

Sommeliers Australia is a national, not-for-profit hospitality industry association, governed and managed by a committee of volunteers, at both national and state level. The association began life in the early 1990’s in Victoria and New South Wales as separate associations. In August 2007, the two associations merged to form Sommeliers Australia, and in 2009 State Chapters in Queensland and Western Australia formed, with other States forming shortly afterwards. Sommeliers Australia is the only association in Australia that represents and supports the education of Australian sommeliers and wine professionals. The focus of the association is to provide our members, and the hospitality industry at large, with relevant education and career development opportunities. Sommeliers Australia has a growing membership comprised of: - Hospitality, wine and beverage professionals - Wine journalists and communicators - Wine educators - Hospitality industry suppliers - Winery personnel - Distributors - Sales representatives - Interested and motivated consumers
