POWER

There is limited power at the venue so if you do have specific requirements, please let us know.

TAG AND TEST

If you are using any kind of electrical equipment, please ensure it is tagged and tested. This is fast becoming regulation. We can assist with this on the day with limited capacity. THIS IS COMPULSORY and a requirement of the venues.

PEOPLES CHOICE

At each event we ask people to vote for their favourite producer on the day via iPads roving and at reception. By doing so, they go into the draw to wine some EPIC prizes. If someone says they love your sake, say ‘don’t forget to vote for us in the people’s choice’.

We will announce the TOP 3 at 5.20pm at the event.

2018 MEL Winners:

1. Bishu Wines
2. Black Market Sake
3. Deja Vu

2018 SYD Winners:

PROMOTION

We love social and digital; it’s where we live. And we know how time poor everyone is so we’ve put together a social media cheat sheet to make it easier including suggested copy for instagram, facebook, twitter and your e-newsletter as well as images.

All you need to do is use our SOCIAL MEDIA CHEAT SHEET and get promoting.

Every city we exhibit in has different regulations surrounding consumption and sales at events. This is not only frustrating but time onerous. We share in your frustration and ask that you help us to ensure the process is as streamlined as possible. Below is a breakdown of requirements per city.

For all events in Australia, you MUST have a valid RSA certificate relevant to that state. Please see below for more information.

MELBOURNE:
Melbourne has become a challenging city from a compliance perspective. There are two kinds of license/permit that you must get.

TEMPORARY LIQUOR LICENCE 
All wineries must have a temporary liquor licence to pour wine and offer take home wine sales on the day. To make this process easier, we compile all applications and submit in one hit to ensure all are approved in time. DO NOT SUBMIT SEPARATELY.

REGISTER for your Victorian Temporary Licence HERE.

NB: The cost of this licence is $60.40 if you do not have an existing Victorian License, and $111.80 if you hold an existing Victorian liquor licence. The only exception to this is those who hold a Victorian Wine & Beer Producers Licence with an Event Promotions Authority – if this is the case we will need your licence number or copy of your license.

SYDNEY:
No licence required and take home wine sales are permitted. This is due to us applying for a Trade Fair Licence.

RSA

For all events in Australia ALL staff MUST have a valid Responsible Service of Alcohol Certificate to pour wines. To make it easier, we have a step by step guide to get national accreditation.

Follow THIS LINK to get your national RSA

SUBMIT all RSA certifications for all staff HERE

For any questions about RSA’s or later additions, email claudia@revel.global

SAMPLE & SALE STOCK

We anticipate you needing at least 12 units of each wine for tasting stock for the event. Please allocate 18 units if you only have 1 or 2 wines on tasting.

Please note that any leftover stock needs to be taken with you on event day. We can’t take responsibility for stock left in the venue post-event.

SALES ON THE DAY

We have partnered with the brilliant team at Square who will provide you with the most streamlined POS system around. All REVEL exhibitors will be entitled to 1 x Square Contactless and Chip Reader (usually valued at $59) for FREE for new accounts. Please note that the use of Square is a MANDATORY aspect of participation in our event. 

To ensure that your hardware is received and all account set up is finalised pre-event, please sign up to Square by TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO EVENTS. Square are available to you directly to provide all on-boarding support should you need it.

Square is an awesome POS system which you can then continue to use not only at other REVEL events, but for your own purposes moving forward.  For those of you already using it, you are still entitled to some free hardware courtesy of those lovely folks at Square.

Please ensure you have filled out THIS FORM which will allow us to access your sales data (event day only) – saves you receiving multiple reminders from REVEL. We would like to stress we use this information to approach sponsors, understand our audience and improve our events for both exhibitors and attendees alike! If you have any questions about this, please get in touch with Dan.

SHIPPING

We offer consolidation through our logistics company, Agility. Below is the link to Shipping Information which includes labels, shipping windows and instructions. Please use the labels provided and plan accordingly to ensure your deliveries wine arrives in time.

TASTING. NOT A DRINKING

We hate tokens as we believe it not only takes away from the customer experience, it limits them in the amount of wines they have access to. So all tastes are included in the ticket price.

However, please note, this is a sake ‘tasting’, not a ‘drinking’ so please ensure you pour a max of 15ml per person. This minimises wastage, spittoon maintenance and, most importantly, helps us manage RSA issues. Less wine, less wastage, less issues. 

We would also like to encourage you to get some SLOW POURERS (since it is a tasting, not a drinking ahem ahem). Below are the links to purchase them online (do note they take a couple of days to deliver).

SCREW CAP SLOW POURERS
CORK SLOW POURERS 

If you require some extra staff on the day, our friends at Sidekicker are here to help! They have plenty of staff ranging in skills from wine knowledge to customer service and promotions. They also have all the RSA requirements covered if needed!

Or the not-so-fine – it’s big, bold, easy to read…

By registering to exhibit with us, you’re agreeing to these terms. It’s the stuff we promise, and the stuff we need you to promise, in how we work together and represent each other and the event.

We will now require you to sign THIS Square Data Agreement Form in order for us to access sales reports directly from Square. If you have any issues with this, please contact us.

Have a read HERE.

When it comes to wine, we’re about fun first and facts second. We believe people want to learn about wine the same way in which they consume it, socially.

So on the day, try not to mention things like baume/brix levels, malolactic fermentation, lees stirring, stainless steel tanks, clonal selections or any other of the winemaking jargon.

Tell them about who you are. Why you’re there. Why you love what you do and what is special about your place. Tell them a story. Because people connect to people, not stainless steel tanks.

We know they want to get to know you more.

SEE YOU ALL ON THE FIELD!
