Vintage conversations
We are looking for alumni to host Vintage Conversations in 2020.
Do you have an interesting story or tips for students? If so, we would love to hear from you. If you are interested in being part of the Vintage Conversations program please contact Jill Bauer.
In 2016 we launched our tasting and discussion series, Vintage Conversations. Every year we host alumni at the Hickinbotham Roseworthy Wine Science Laboratory who talk to students on a number of themes including; resume for vintage positions, career path from cellar hand to winemaker, launching and establishing a brand, working with media and mentors.
We are very excited to announce that the Australian Society for Viticulture and Oenology sponsored six Vintage Conversations for 2019.
If you would like to discuss sponsorship of the Vintage Conversations program please contact Paul Grbin.
