Wine Australia helps develop the leaders of tomorrow – and build the skills of the leaders of today – through national and regional leadership programs that support a diverse and vibrant wine sector.

Our leaders are from all parts of the Australian grape and wine community. We invest in programs to help our leaders to develop the skills to drive our community forward, adopt research outcomes and innovation, contribute to a sustainable and profitable sector, and build networks to support future contributions.

Wine Australia periodically brings together alumni from across our leadership and people development programs to provide a platform for collaborative projects and create ongoing opportunities for professional development and networking.

Please note Wine Australia no longer supports travel bursaries.
