Recent reviews of Support Your Local: NSW Wines Tasting

  • 5/5 from Anastassiya Domrina, attended May 2025: It was such a great wine tasting experience! I came with my mum, and we ended up having a kind of private tasting session, which was a lovely bonus. The wines were fantastic, and the sommelier was the nicest lady—she explained so much to us and was genuinely happy to chat about our tasting experiences. Mind you, we’re total newbies when it comes to wine—just casual drinkers—but it was still super engaging. She really got us interested in wine in general, and especially in local NSW wines. 100% recommend. Loved it!!!

Hi, I’m Lisa, a Certified Sommelier and proud NSW wine Advocate.
My journey into the world of wine started in the most honest way: by falling in love with hospitality. Over the years, I’ve worked front-of-house in some of Sydney’s most respected venues, but it was always the wine list that fascinated me the most. I found myself asking questions, learning from sommeliers, and eventually diving deep into study to become one myself.
What really lit the fire for me was tasting a beautiful, complex shiraz from Mudgee while visiting a small producer. It was a revelation: that world-class wines were being made right here in New South Wales – often just a few hours from Sydney. I knew I wanted to share this passion and help others discover what’s in our own backyard.
At The Art Syndicate, I get to do exactly that. Each week, I host NSW wine tastings designed to be approachable, educational, and above all, fun. We explore six wines around a theme, chat about the regions, the winemakers, and the stories in every bottle.
Something a lot of people don’t know? NSW has 16 distinct wine regions, from coastal cool-climate vineyards to high-altitude sites inland.
Teaching wine is one of the great joys of my career. Watching someone have that “aha” moment – when they taste the difference between a Mudgee cabernet and a Canberra region one, or realise they actually do like chardonnay – is just the best feeling. It’s social, it’s sensory, and it brings people together.
There’s an entire world to explore within a single state, and I’m here to guide you through it – one glass at a time.
