On 13th June 2009, HKABA SA Chapter hosted an annual Food & Wine Appreciation Dinner at Ming’s Palace Chinese Restaurant, in Adelaide.


The annual event sponsored by ANZ, attracted approximately 160 guests and VIP's. Our grand event was also attended by Mr. Hieu Van Le a Patron of HKABA SA Chapter Inc. Our master of ceremonies and our guide to the exquisite wines presented during the event and as part of the Wine Options Quiz.

Through Wine Options Quiz, a fun and interactive experience, where Chinese food is matched with Australian wines patrons are learning the character of the wine. This events has been run for many years and its one of the most successful events for HKABA-SA Chapter through out the years.

The added benefit from the event is for the wineries. During the game, they are promoted through the evening. This event also helps boost their interest in joining our wine delegation to participate in Hong Kong Wine Fair.

With the enjoyable and ever so pleasant atmosphere of fun & camaraderie, the evening run late into the night. Guest left with smiles on their faces wanting next year's event to come soon.

We don't have to wait for another great event from HKABA SA Chapter, as Business Awards Gala is only days away.
