Six sommelier competitors battled it out during a riveting competition at the Mayfair Hotel in Adelaide.

The winner, representing the Bailliage of Victoria, was Thibaut Broussier from Dinner by Heston in Melbourne. He will now be Australia’s competitor in the International Final in Mexico City in September.

The other competitors were:
- Brett Goss, Shobosho, Adelaide (South Australia)
- Daniel McEvoy, Osteria Oggi, Adelaide (South Australia)
- Max Gurtler, Momofuku Seiobo at The Star, Sydney (New South Wales))
- Miguel Gateau, Vue De Monde, Melbourne (Victoria)
- Morgan Colledge, Blackbird Bar & Grill, Brisbane (Queensland)

The National Bailliage is most appreciative of the generous support of its sponsors without whom the competition would not be possible.
