Greater Victoria

The Regional Program in Greater Victoria focuses on understanding the impacts of climate change (e.g. sustainable production and smoke taint), pest and disease and biosecurity threats, premiumisation and best management practices. It also addresses alternative business modes with different route-to-market opportunities. 

The Greater Victoria Regional Program Annual Operating plan focuses on:

• Sustainable Winegrowing Australia regional workshops
• evaluating and communicating winemaking potential of selected rootstocks from Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir rootstock trials
• managing the real and perceived risks of smoke taint
• building resilience to drought and a water constrained future, and
• the adoption of alternative approaches to pruning for minimising trunk disease impacts and maximising longevity of grapevines (soft pruning).

Key topic areas: smoke taint, rootstocks, pest and disease management, sustainable viticulture, winemaking, AgTech

Coordinated by: Wine Victoria Inc
