Wine Industry Tasmania

Wine Industry Tasmania is the peak body for Tasmanian grape growers and winemakers. It was established in late 2006 to replace the Vineyards Association of Tasmania, bringing with it a new focus to build the profile of, and market, Tasmania’s premium cool-climate wines. 

It is a company limited by guarantee and overseen by a Board of Directors.

Wine Industry Tasmania is an independent, non-profit organisation, financed by its member businesses, with additional funding sourced from corporate sponsors, the Australian and Tasmanian Governments. 

This website was funded with assistance from the Australian Government under the Australian Tourism Development Program. 

Wine Industry Tasmania represents more than 70% of the Tasmanian industry, with more than 90 statewide industry members and 34 associated member businesses.
