Wine Victoria is the peak body representing the Victorian wine industry; we serve the interests of more than 1,500 grape growers and 800+ wine companies of all sizes, and Regional Associations covering every part of the state.
 
There are many policy areas that affect the industry and are governed by state policy such as bushfire management and controlled burns; tourism and trade programs; planning and regional development; and many areas of biosecurity and agriculture management. Providing a strong, united voice for the sector and representing our industry on these issues is vital for the long-term sustainability of all.
 
Wine Victoria has been at the forefront of industry tax debates, overseen international trade activities, taken the lead on bushfire recovery and a multitude of viticulture initiatives, and championed wine tourism strategy. 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.
