About Us
Wine Victoria was formed in late 2011 as the successor to the Victorian Wine Industry Association.
As the peak body representing the Victorian wine industry our main aim is to advocate to the Victorian government, responding to the issues that impact our members.
Where appropriate the association also supports Australian Grape and Wine at a national level.
Our aim is to ensure that the industry can grow sustainably and that we have the right economic, community and policy frameworks in place to support that growth for our members. Each election cycle we develop a three-year strategic plan that is then updated annually and is informed by engagement with industry and government stakeholders at a state and federal level.
We operate under a constitution with a volunteer skills-based board elected by members at our Annual General Meeting and have robust governance structures in place for the design and delivery of all programs which include Project Control Boards; with Wine Victoria Board, Industry and specialist representation as required. Our staff includes a 4 day a week Chief Executive Officer; a Secretariat who is the primary point of contact for all industry enquiries; and a contracted Projects Manager.
Board Members & Executive Team
Wine Victoria is governed by a board of nine members and an Executive Team. The Board collectively brings together expertise in a range of areas including Viticulture, Communications, Research and Development, Wine Tourism and Estate Management.
Become a Member
Providing a strong, united voice for the sector and representing our industry on these issues is vital for the long-term sustainability of all. Although we act for all wine and grape businesses, we are not currently financially supported equitably across the state. Wine Victoria is committed to broadening our membership base and increasing participation from all regions, as well as encouraging direct membership and Associate membership. If you wish to become a member of Wine Victoria or for more information please contact the Secretariat.
