Australia’s grape and wine community leaders are from all parts of our diverse sector. Wine Australia’s leadership programs aim to celebrate our sector’s distinct differences and support the strong collaboration within our community.

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.
