Meet the Buyer - 27 October 2026
Published on

What makes a buyer say yes? Why do some spirits get listed while others don't? And what does it take to turn that first order into repeat business?
Join us for Meet the Buyer on Tuesday 27 October, as we get straight to the heart of what buyers are looking for and what it really takes to win their business.
Moderated by Sarah Andrew, we'll hear from Jay Bessell (Spring St Events) and Jose Dymenstein (Casa de Vinos), sharing practical insights from the other side of the buying process.
We'll unpack:
- What buyers really look for when considering a new spirits brand
- The common mistakes that can cost you a listing
- How to stand out in a crowded market
- What it takes to secure repeat orders and build lasting trade relationships
If you're looking to grow your presence in bars, restaurants or retail, this is a conversation worth being part of.
Tuesday 27 October | 5.30–7.30pm
Patient Wolf, South Melbourne
Come armed with your questions. We'd love to see you there!
