As the International Cool Climate Wine Symposium draws to a close, we extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us in Ōtautahi Christchurch. Over the past three days, we have shared insights, forged meaningful connections, and celebrated innovation across every facet of cool climate viticulture and winemaking.

Our sincere thanks go to our speakers and presenters for the depth, generosity, and thoughtfulness of your contributions, and to those who travelled from near and far to be part of this Symposium. Your insights, experience, and stories have enriched our kōrero and strengthened the conversations that matter to our industry.

We are also deeply grateful to the organisations whose generous support, through sponsorship and wine donations, helped bring this Symposium to life. Your commitment plays a vital role in creating opportunities for learning, connection, and collaboration.

Most importantly, we thank you, the global community of wine professionals, for your engagement, curiosity, and shared commitment to excellence and sustainability. We look forward to continuing the conversations begun here, building on the relationships formed, and coming together again as we champion cool climate wine into the future.
