Synergy in Grape and Wine Research

The Cluster sees four leading grape and wine research agencies coming together with a single goal in mind: in collaboration, to achieve results that would not be possible working as standalone agencies.

With new research facilities on the Waite Campus in Adelaide South Australia, world-leading personnel and networks right around the globe, the Wine Innovation Cluster will deliver results effectively and efficiently. Between them, the collaboration partners possess the major share of Australian research, development, extension and education capabilities over the whole of the grape and wine value chain.

Each of the agencies remains as a standalone, independent enterprise. But the true value of the Cluster will stand out when each enterprise contributes their unique capabilities to address specific issues in any part of the sector's value chain.
