Our next meeting will be hosted in Naracoorte on Friday August 8th.

Our special guest will be Emma Phillips from Naracoorte High School to discuss our new and ongoing collaboration with using their non-commercial vineyard site for various research-related, empirical, and technical initiatives.

We’ll use this meeting to wrap up a number of initiatives from FY 2024-2025, to set out some of the new goals and activities our activities for the FY 2025-2026, to announce a few new collaborations and achievements. Much of this relates to our participation in the Wine Australia Regional Partners programme. As we will soon be looking to the next five years, we need to begin the process of (a) encouraging everyone to come up with ideas for research projects and initiatives, and (b) expanding stakeholder interest in the work of the committee and the outcomes of its initiatives.

For anyone seeking to join in, please write to me with an expression of interest!
