Joint membership of the Winemakers' Federation of Australia and Victorian Wine Industry Association
The Winemakers' Federation of Australia (WFA) and Victorian Wine Industry Association (VWIA) are pleased to announce a joint membership offer for eligible Victorian wineries with annual production below 2,000 tonnes.
Both organisations are working closely to ensure that state and national policy and strategic issues align so that our advocacy on your behalf is more effective. Following on from the launch of Victorian Vintage 2010, the VWIA played an important role in developing Wine Australia: Directions to 2025 and both organisations will be working together to ensure that these strategies are implemented seamlessly on behalf of Victorian wineries.
It makes sense, therefore, to line up our membership offer as well.
In offering this joint membership we can:
- reduce your membership cost
- offer one membership fee quicker, simpler and cheaper
- still offer all of the benefits of the individual membership of each organisation, and
- continue to align our initiatives across both organisations.
Please note that if you do not wish to take out joint membership
but wish to remain a member of either the Winemakers' Federation
of Australia or Victorian Wine Industry Association, you must
fill out a separate membership form. The WFA membership
information is available here and
VWIA information is available here.
The unity and cooperation between Australia’s wineries is one of our greatest strengths, and it is through this collaboration that our sector will continue to enjoy future success. Your industry associations require your support to best represent and assist your businesses on both national and state issues, and we would encourage you to consider the information enclosed and take up association membership.
Please feel free to contact either association with any questions or comments.
