This programme is an intensive programme on the basics of winemaking and finishing procedures during a winery harvest, and when working in a cellar team.
The first six weeks will give you an introduction into the wine industry, basics of winemaking and practice the tasks required to work successfully in a cellar vintage crew.
The practical days out in wineries increase through the programme before offering the opportunity of a paid practical vintage placement for 7-8 weeks while classes are paused to allow for uninterrupted support to vineyards.
Post-vintage the last course, Wine Management Post-Fermentation, will be taught in part-time classes.
If you are keen to see if you want to have a career in the wine industry, this is the perfect programme for you. It gives you a pathway into winery work if you have no current experience.
This programme can also lead to further study on the Bachelor of Viticulture and Winemaking.
