Founded in 1980, the ASVO is a dynamic, non-political organisation dedicated to supporting professionals in the wine industry. Our mission is to foster a vibrant exchange of technical knowledge and to champion innovation in our industry.
We host seminars, provide scholarships, and facilitate connections. We partner with The Australian Wine Research Institute to deliver the Australian Wine Industry Technical Conference every three years—one of the industry’s most important events.
Since its formation the major achievements of the Society have been:
- Organisation and conduct of seminars on specialised topics in viticulture and oenology;
- Organisation and conduct of the triennial Australian Wine Industry Technical Conferences in association with The Australian Wine Research Institute;
- Publication of proceedings of the one-day seminars and triennial Conferences;
- Support for the production and publication of Viticulture Volumes I and II.
- Publication of the Society’s scientific journal – Australian Journal of Grape and Wine Research
- Publication of a newsletter providing information on ASVO activities and seminars, information of professional interest to oenologists and viticulturists and an international calendar of events.
