Global companies and artisans are finding new opportunities in China through the Eighth China International Import Expo, where specialty products from around the world are thriving in an increasingly open and dynamic market. From fast-growing New Zealand alpaca goods and Colombian chocolates to Australian wines and handmade crafts from Nepal, exhibitors praise the expo as a powerful gateway to Chinese consumers and a catalyst for expanding international trade and cultural exchange.

At Tipsy Hill, 360-degree views of vineyards stretch to the horizon, dotted with eucalyptus trees. Amid the quiet cackle of kookaburras, sixth-generation winemaker Bec Hardy pours sparkling wine from her family’s legacy, while Yorkshireman Richard Dolan reflects on the echoes of home - the pubs of Doncaster, the hills of Malham, and the quiet Sunday mornings in York. In McLaren Vale, cricket, culture, and craftsmanship blend seamlessly, as the couple toast to Yorkshire while shaping some of Australia’s finest wines.

Australian winemakers are raising their profiles in China, with producers like Penfolds and Bec Hardy Wines returning to the China International Import Expo in Shanghai. The event offers a vital platform to reconnect with buyers, showcase premium wines, and expand in an increasingly competitive but promising Chinese market.

Your wine’s sparkling in more ways than one! Those “crystals” at the bottom aren’t glass — they’re wine diamonds, and they’re one of nature’s prettiest surprises in a bottle.

We’re embracing the season with exciting updates - from a relaxed new direction at The Kitchen at Bec Hardy, to celebrating 45 years of Pertaringa with a special Award Winners Six Pack. Plus, we’re proud to unveil two brand-new, small-batch releases from the historic Lower Tintara Vineyard: a Wine Club exclusive Fiano 2025 and a fast favourite Grenache 2025.

There’s never been a better time to visit, we’ll see you this spring and summer at cellar door!
