Barossa haven for the senses

A wine company’s effort to convince a national committee to host a symposium here in the Barossa Valley has paid off. Orlando Wines now welcomes 30 professionals and students as part of the 6th annual New Zealand/Australian Sensory Symposium, held at the Jacob’s Creek Visitor’s Centre on February 8 and 9. According to Orlando Wines, the symposium targets sensory professionals who are looking for new ideas and knowledge to use in their research or work environment and would like opportunities to discuss current sensory issues with others working in the field, reports the Barossa Herald.
