This year’s Spring Spectacular was truly unforgettable. Guests embarked on an immersive journey through the stunning grounds of Penfolds Magill Estate, beginning with a chartered Virgin Australia flight from Melbourne that set the tone for a day of luxury and connection.

Attendees explored a curated selection of wines from Australia, the United States, China, and France, each paired with a seasonal menu designed to complement the vibrant energy of spring. The estate lawns came alive with a feature marquee, live entertainment, and breathtaking vineyard views, creating the perfect backdrop for meaningful conversations and networking within our Carlton IN Business community.

The day was a celebration of discovery, indulgence, and shared experiences, reinforcing the power of connection across our network.
