Grants open for wine and cider producers

Department of Agriculture and Water Resources

Applications for the fifth round of the Wine Tourism and Cellar Door Grants program is now open for wine and cider producers.

The program provides funding of up to $100,000 to wineries and cellar door operators who grow and promote agri-tourism, largely in regional Australia.

Assistant Secretary for Food Policy, Paul Denny said Australian wine producers continue to demonstrate the success of locally grown and manufactured products.

“Our wine is some of the most sought after in the world and makes a significant contribution to our economy and regional Australia’s agricultural industry,” Mr Denny said.

“While it has been a tough few years for some parts of Australia’s wine industry, our winemakers and cellar door operators are highly resilient. Providing support to our wine industry will continue to help the local economy and agriculture.”

Application submissions are open until 30 September 2023.
