Hedonism Wines South Australian Wine Showcase
The Department for Trade and Investment (DTI) is seeking expressions of interest (EOI) from wine exporters who are listed with Hedonism Wines to physically support a consumer facing store takeover on Saturday 15th June 2024 in London, UK.
OVERVIEW OF OPPORTUNITY
Following the successful wine school event in September 2023, we are partnering with Hedonism, to host an exclusive South Australian Wines Showcase on Saturday 15th June 2024.
This will be a ticketed event which runs in two slots over the course of the day; 12.30-3.30pm and 4:00-7:00pm with 50 tickets available for each.
Format: 8 stations (each with a designated region) throughout the store that will host 3 x wines per station and managed by a member of Hedonism staff.
To supplement this experience, DTI and Hedonism invites representatives of the wineries (winemakers, business managers or their UK based agents) to physically attend to support this event.
This would be to engage their high-worth customers to inform, educate and inspire them to purchase the wines of South Australia.
This initiative will drive sales and create exposure for South Australian wines to the premium UK market.
There is also potential that this activity may be covered in the media.
WHY YOU SHOULD PARTICIPATE
This is a great opportunity, not only for you to promote your wines directly to your customers within Hedonism, but to support the over-arching brand awareness of the South Australian G.I. and drive consumer education and conversion to purchase.
