If you happen to be out and about in Tasmanian cellars this weekend, there is a good chance you'll come across some of the most famous names in the Australian wine industry.
There will be Henschkes, some de Bortolis, a Barry, and a Taylor.
But these are not the famous names that Australian wine lovers might recognise; they are the next generation of Australia's First Families of Wine, visiting the Apple Isle for the first time.
The Next Gen group is led by Katherine Brown from Brown Brothers, a fourth-generation winemaker, and has attended a Hobart Wine Show tasting and whisky sampling at Lark Distillery in Hobart.
Tomorrow's activities include a visit to Devil's Corner, owned by Brown Brothers, with the trip wrapping up in the north of the state with a visit to Jansz (owned by the Hill-Smith Family).
Two scheduled public events, and a media meet-up, fell through, leaving the group time to bond together with their peers from different regions of Australia.
The group includes 11 of Australia’s leading wine talent for a weekend of wine education and vinous discussions with local winemakers and viticulturists.
