We love to mix business and pleasure...

Winetasting experience and business connection event

It's always a great time for wine - especially when it's on Sydney Harbour and enjoyed with good chats and good people. Join us for an exclusive evening of fine wine and business networking and connection on Jone Bay Wharf.

November's event is designed for professionals and wine enthusiasts alike - a fun night out where you get to learn about wine and the other businesses in the group; where you can expand your network while savoring a curated selection of premium wines.

• Guided Wine Tasting: Discover a handpicked variety of wines, led by our guest speaker Sam Dunleavy, founder of SJD Wines and The Yacht Life, who will guide you through tasting notes, origins, and ideal pairings

• Networking Opportunities: Connect with like-minded professionals, exchange ideas, and explore potential collaborations in a warm and inviting atmosphere

• Exclusive Insights: Gain tips on wine selection, food pairing, and even a few insider stories about the wine industry

Some helpful event details:

Just yourself!

👔 What to wear
Business casual. You do you

🌟 A little more...
From the people you meet to the nibbles you nibble, at BIO we’re big into the little details. We are fanatical about all the facets that come together to make a brilliant meet up, because if you feel at home - you’re more likely to be yourself.

🤔 What does this mean?

- Be yourself, you’re you - not your Company
- Keep the chat interesting
- We don’t use name tags, because, well… just ask!

We can't wait to see you there.

A little more about BIO:

Here at BIO, we do networking a little differently.

You don't have to own your own business (but it’s cool if you do) or be an entrepreneur, you just need to be open to meeting new people, listening to their tales, connecting differently and sharing ideas.

We’re not leeches… so our members are not about sucking the business (or life) out of you. We work together to help our members solve problems, build their businesses, further their careers or develop themselves. We give people a platform to tell their story and make valuable connections.

We hold monthly events for our members, and if you would like to come along - meet new people and give us a whirl then come along and join us to see what all the fuss is about.

Talking’s great, but sometimes so is listening.

To make sure each BIO event is interesting, we introduce you to our host for the night. This person will take us on a journey throughout the meet-up and talk briefly on a trending subject that sparks interest. From wine-makers to corporate giants we’ve cherry picked topics that are relevant to all businesses - from retaining your talent to the ever looming robots and AI tech, there’s a little something for everyone.
