Burgundy to Barossa

Take Michael's path as an itinerant winemaker through the grand traditions of Burgundy and the Rhone Valley to the unfettered innovations of the Barossa and Adelaide Hills.

Join them on a tasting journey of revered bottlings from four iconic French producers alongside the exquisite wines they helped inspire.

Follow Michael's real-life journey from Sotheby's expert in the winter chill of Switzerland to emerging producer of acclaimed South Australian wines.

After stints with great Australian producers, including Giaconda in Beechworth, Coldstream Hills in the Yarra and Cullens in Margaret River, Michael travelled to Burgundy to work for one of the greatest white wine estates of all, Domaine Leflaive. This memorable experience inspired a series of vintages in France with the renowned domaines of Méo-Camuzet, Vieux Télégraphe and Trévallon, before making the Barossa his home.

Here, roots run deep and the soils are timeless. The personalities of the wines and people are both alluring and compelling. The Barossa Valley, Eden Valley and Adelaide Hills, disparate neighbours, separated by geological time, act as a unique portal through which we sample some of the countless expressions of wine.

Join them in their heritage listed stone barn in the Barossa Valley and taste the journey.
