(FoodMag) - As part of its continued commitment to spruiking the quality Australian wine message at home and around the globe, this month Australia’s First Families of Wine (AFFW) is heading back to the USA for the second time in two years, as part of Wine Australia’s Spring Roadshow – Australia Up Close.

AFFW is made up of twelve of this country’s oldest multi-generational, family owned wineries who between them share 1380 years of collective winemaking experience across 50 generations and 16 regions around Australia.

Following on from this month’s budget announcement of the allocation of a $50 million Export and Regional Wine Support Package over four years to grow the value of wine exports and wine tourism at home and abroad, it appears that AFFW is ahead of the curve.
