Whether you're planning a conference, retreat, offsite or client appreciation event, our curated tastings add a sophisticated and interactive touch to your itinerary.

Led by Graham Sutherland DipWSET – renowned wine educator and Director of Archive Academy (the educational arm of Archive Wine Bar) – our experiences are a perfect blend of entertainment, education, and indulgence.

We specialise in fully customisable experiences that reflect your brand, your goals, and your audience. From express sessions and themed regional tastings (such as The Wines of France, Italian Icons, or A Taste of the Geelong Wine Region) to premium wine dinners and bespoke blind tastings, we tailor every detail – wine selection, format, tone and location – to suit your specific needs and budget.

Example Experience: A Taste of the Geelong Wine Region

In this immersive 45-minute session, guests enjoy four premium wines from across the Bellarine Peninsula, Moorabool Valley and Surf Coast. With 50ml pours and expert-led insights, they’ll explore the unique terroir and stories behind each wine – a perfect express experience for busy event schedules.

Whether you want an icebreaker to kick off your event or a luxurious incentive experience to celebrate success, Archive Academy delivers a seamless, enriching and highly customisable wine tasting experience that your guests won’t forget.
