...walk-through crash course in Australian wine. You stroll from room to room, sampling some of the country's best vintages and pairing them with great food. In the Aroma Room, your descriptive vocabulary will be expanded by an education in 50 kinds of scent, from caramel to orange blossom. In the Tasting Theatre (admission $45) sommeliers decant six top Australian bottlings in hourly tastings as the winemakers responsible for each one talk you through it in a video presentation (there's also a separate program of tastings with vintners in person).
