The Global Cellar

We’re taking this one worldwide. Get yourself to Good Neighbour for a tour de vino shaped by winemakers and hospo leaders who know all the best bottles. Ten grape varieties are in the spotlight, each showcased in an international and South Australian wine.  

The celebrated André Heuston Mack will share selections from the United States alongside Tasting Australia festival curator Banjo Harris Plane, offering the intel that has seen him amass almost a million Insta followers. Mack left a career in finance to chase his passion for wine, earning plaudits as a sommelier before launching his own label. His ethos? Wine belongs on your daily table, not amassed in a collection or reserved for the elite. 

Syrahmi winemaker Adam Foster is set to champion French wines, sharing favourites discovered during work and travels in Europe. Rhône-inspired reds are his specialty, made from elevated, granite-strewn sites surrounding Heathcote in central Victoria.   

Germany will be covered by 2025 Good Food Guide Sommelier of the Year Caitlin Baker, whose work at Canberra restaurant Such and Such centres on making wine more accessible. Look to South Australian winemakers Bernice Ong and Julian Forwood from McLaren Vale’s Ministry of Clouds for the kind of Spanish specialties perfect to pair with a casual bite. 

The Euro journey continues: we have Corner 75 restaurant manager Alice Tremayne with Hungarian standouts, Merivale head sommelier Piotr Szewczuk covering Austria, and Italian selections courtesy of multi-talented wine and hospitality consultant Marcell Kustos.  

Barossa-based winemaker Belinda van Eyssen of The Cutting will share treasures from her homeland of South Africa – the start of an international journey that prompted the launch of her sustainability-driven label on local shores.  

The gala will wrap with Seppeltsfield Para Tawny: a nod to Portugal as crafted right here in South Australia. Is there any other way to see out the night?
