Join Chief Winemaker Tim Shand for an evening exploring the past, present and future of the boutique Western Australian producer Voyager Estate.

Event details

Margaret River has long been recognised as one of Australia’s great wine regions, famed for its pristine coastline, ancient soils and elegant, age-worthy wines. Few producers capture the region’s spirit as purely as Voyager Estate, a certified organic winery known for its thoughtful viticulture and precise, expressive bottlings.

Appointed in 2022, chief winemaker Tim Shand will share insights into his vision for Voyager and lead a tasting spanning the signature wines such as the Estate Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as bottlings which speak to the estate’s evolution and terroir.

Expect an engaging, down-to-earth discussion on organic viticulture, maritime influence and the nuances of crafting fine wine in one of the world’s most remote (and beautiful) winemaking regions.
