The Aussie adventure with Wines of Greece: Part 2 Adelaide

The second stop following Sydney in the Wines of Greece trip in Australia was Adelaide. This is a considerably smaller city compared to Sydney or Melbourne with approximately 1.3 mn population that makes it the fifth most populous city in the country. What it does have in abundance is the access to some of the most classic Aussie wines. These are produced very close to the city of Adelaide in the regions of Adelaide Hills, Barossa, McLaren Vale, Clare and Eden Valley. The last two are actually a little bit further away about 2 to 2.5 hours by car.

The first day started with an educational program for the Greek winemakers at the University of South Australia organized by Prof. Marianna Sigala and Wines of Greece (WOG). I managed to attend three of the day's presentations that were extremely updated, detailed and right to the point. Some of the topics covered were ''selling it profitably is where it gets difficult'', ''how to grow luxury wine brands'' and ''social Media and Wine Tourism marketing''.
