You Can Win a Trip to Australia Just by Visiting This Coffee Shop and Saying One Word

"Travel and wine lovers now have a new reason to stop into any of Bluestone Lane's 25 locations across the U.S. this November. The Australian-inspired café has launched a special "Sip Here, Fly There" promotion that invites guests to enjoy a taste of South Australia while entering for a chance to win a round-trip flight from San Francisco to Adelaide on United Airlines."

"From Nov. 4 to Nov. 21, guests can visit a participating café and either say the secret password, "Upgrade," or order the South Australian wine flight. Priced at $20, the wine flight offers a guided taste through three distinct regions and styles, beginning with Hugh Hamilton's Black Sheep Fiano 2024, a refreshing white with notes of pear, citrus blossom, and almond sourced from Clare Valley grapes."

"Upon completing either step, guests will receive an educational tasting placemat, a complimentary snack, and a QR code to officially enter the giveaway to win one of 25 round-trip flights to Adelaide. For those who cannot visit a café in person during the promo period, entries can also be submitted online at the contest landing page, with no purchase required."
