Since 1993, Finlaysons has hosted an annual series of half-day seminars, which have become an institution in the wine industry calendar. The Finlaysons Wine Roadshow travels to ten or eleven leading Australian viticultural regions annually, to give legal and commercial advice to winemakers on topical industry issues relevant to their businesses
Registrations for Finlaysons’ Wine Roadshow 33 are now open.
This year’s Wine Roadshow is entitled “The Grape Re-Set” and it focuses on buying and selling Australian vineyards, wineries or whole wine businesses. Whether you are looking to exit, expand or invest, these seminars are designed to give you practical take-aways to help you maximise value if you are a seller or get what you paid for if you are a buyer.
We would love to see you at one of our seminars. Click here to read more about it and to register.

Finlaysons at the 2025 Australian Wine Industry Tech Conference
What does it really take to build a happy, high-performing wine workplace?
At Workshop #36 of this year’s Australian Wine Industry Technical Conference, Will Taylor, Jessie Murphy Allen and Daniella Carling unpacked that very question. Together, they explored how thriving vineyard and winery teams rely not just on policies and checklists, but on cultures grounded in inclusion, flexibility, diversity and respect — all while staying legally sound.
The session offered practical frameworks and sparked valuable conversations about what it takes to lead well in today’s wine industry.
