After filling its cellars with 24,000 bottles of premium Orange wine in the 2023-2024 financial year, ICC Sydney, managed by ASM Global, returned to Orange Wine Show in late September 2024 to celebrate the region’s thriving wine industry.
“Our ICC Sydney team is resolute in championing the quality and diversity of wine from the region, having purchased more than 24,000 bottles of premium Orange wine last financial year – elevating our total procurement to more than 150,000 bottles from Orange since opening,” says ICC Sydney general manager Adam Mather-Brown.
“We are proud to offer event attendees the opportunity to taste the very best of local produce through our NSW First procurement philosophy.
“One quarter of our 100-per-cent local wine list originates from Orange, and alongside the fresh produce we source from Orange and Central West farmers, we are committed to enriching the dining experience of our clients and delegates.”
President of Orange Region Vignerons Association and Nashdale Lane Wines owner Nick Segger says ICC Sydney should be praised for its support of the regional wine-growing region.
“ICC Sydney’s ongoing support not only directly contributes to the economic prosperity of regions such as Orange, but allows us to showcase our world-class wines to new global and national audiences,” he says.
ICC Sydney food and beverage manager and sommelier William Wilson (pictured, above) met with existing partners and prospective local vignerons while visiting the wine show.
“Regional NSW is renowned for its exceptional wine, and this visit highlights our continued commitment to supporting Orange and Central West NSW wine producers,” he says.
“I welcomed the opportunity to connect with our wine industry partners and celebrate exceptional wines through the Orange Wine Show platform.
“With increasing numbers of international delegates at [ICC Sydney] events and record-breaking numbers of patrons at our entertainment events, I know the region’s wines – from outstanding sparkling wines and cool-climate Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs, to a huge variety of emerging and alternative varieties – will be extremely well received.”
ICC Sydney sponsored the Best Exhibitor of Show accolade at Orange Wine Awards for the seventh consecutive year. The category was won by Tamburlaine Organic Wines, one of the venue’s many local wine suppliers.
