This information session is an opportunity to learn more about how the groups will work and what taking part would involve. 

Wine Australia's National Extension and Adoption manager Libby Tedstone will join pilot manager Beck Burgess who together will step through the model, outline the time and level of commitment, and answer any questions you may have.

We’ve allowed up to an hour for the session, but we’ll wrap it up earlier if everyone feels they have the information they need.

Overview of the pilot discussion groups

Wine Australia’s pilot Discussion Group program is a practical, peer‑to‑peer initiative designed to help grapegrowers and winemakers solve their production challenges — together. 

Operating in small, locally-based groups and supported by a skilled facilitator, participants focus on a shared topic of importance to their businesses. Through regular meetings, shared experience and targeted input from subject‑matter experts, discussion groups accelerate learning, build confidence to trial new approaches and support faster adoption of proven practices in vineyards and wineries.
