Final Chance for the 2027 IMW Symposium Opportunity!

Let’s be real for a second. In the heat of vintage or the rush of a busy trade season, it’s easy to keep your head down. We focus on the ferment, the vines, or the next sales target. But there comes a point in every young professional’s career where you have to look up from the glass and realise: the global wine industry is talking, and you deserve a seat at the table.

At Rootlings, we’ve always believed that the future of Australian wine isn't just about the liquids we produce; it’s about the people who champion them. But to lead the charge, you need more than just technical skill—you need a global perspective.

We know the biggest hurdle for young pros (under 35s) is often the cost. International travel and high-level symposiums aren't exactly "entry-level" budget-friendly. That is exactly why the IMW Symposium 2027 Bursary exists.

This isn't just a scholarship; it’s an investment in your potential. We want to take ten of Australia’s rising stars and drop them into the heart of the Institute of Masters of Wine International Symposium in South Australia.

Are You Ready to Step Up?

You don’t need to be a Master of Wine (yet). You don’t need to have thirty years of experience. You just need to be curious, committed, and ready to bring new ideas back to your workplace and your community.

This is your chance to rub shoulders with global experts, taste the world’s most benchmark wines, and build a network that will last your entire career.

Applications close on April 24, so get your answers in now!
