Tasmania is proudly taking its wines to the world, with leading producers returning from a highly successful inaugural masterclass in Singapore.
Eleven of Tasmania’s premium wine producers were represented, with five attending in person to share their wines, stories, and passion with Singapore’s top wine trade and media.
Hosted by internationally respected wine expert Benjamin Hasko MS MW, the event generated strong interest from buyers, many of whom signalled their intention to purchase Tasmanian wines.
Minister for Trade, Guy Barnett, said the Tasmanian Government is delivering for exporters and growing the State’s reputation for excellence on the international stage.
“We are helping our world-class producers reach new markets, expand their businesses, and create more opportunities here at home,” Minister Barnett said.
“Singapore is a sophisticated and high-value market, and Tasmania’s exceptional chardonnay and pinot noir are a perfect fit.
“We are working together to move our State forward and to succeed globally.”
The event, delivered in partnership with Wine Tasmania, showcased 34 Tasmanian wines to Singapore’s most influential trade and media representatives.
Participating producers included: Delamere, Domaine A/Moorilla, Ghost Rock, Glaetzer Dixon, Holm Oak, House of Arras, Mewstone, Pressing Matters/Ossa, Small Wonder, Spring Vale, and Stargazer.
Wine Tasmania CEO, Sheralee Davies, said Singapore was identified as a priority market through robust global research.
“Singaporeans value quality, provenance and authenticity – all of which Tasmanian wines deliver. This masterclass has opened doors, strengthened connections, and positioned Tasmania as a world-class wine region,” Ms Davies said.
The Government-supported initiative is part of a broader trade strategy to diversify markets and boost exports.
With Tasmania’s wine production projected to quadruple by 2040, international market development is critical.
Following the success in Singapore, Wine Tasmania will welcome a delegation of leading Singaporean wine trade representatives to Tasmania in January 2026, providing first-hand experience of the island’s vineyards and producers.
Minister Barnett said we are working hand-in-hand with industry to strengthen Tasmania’s international reputation, creating new opportunities, and building resilience in our economy.
“It’s a fantastic story of Tasmanians working together and delivering results on the global stage,” Minister Barnett said.
