In light of participants requesting more sessions, we have chosen to start the conference earlier this year, beginning registration at 10:00 on Friday morning. Therefore, you can expect a robust schedule on both Friday and Saturday, packed with educational sessions on the convergence of wine and social media. Both days will also contain several tastings on Austrian wine, as well as an incredible introduction to Austria’s culinary history. On Sunday, we will trek into Austrian wine country, allowing each participant to choose a region that interests their palate.
