Wine South Tasmania / About / Vision & Mission

VISION, MISSION & OBJECTIVE

Wine South is a community-focused, not-for-profit organisation run entirely by enthusiastic volunteers from the Southern Tasmanian wine region.

Founded in 1999, our dedicated committee brings together a diverse blend of skills and backgrounds, united by a passion for our vineyards, winemaking heritage, and local community.

OUR OBJECTIVES

  • To promote the premium wine quality of southern Tasmania by celebrating vineyards, producers, and winemakers of all scales, with a particular focus on seasonal releases and distinctive regional characteristics.
  • To create inclusive events and opportunities that connect the wine industry with local communities, businesses, and visitors from Tasmania, interstate, and beyond.
  • To champion awareness of what makes southern Tasmanian wine and wine production unique, from terroir to technique.
  • To support small, new, and emerging producers by providing platforms to share their stories and showcase their wines.
  • To enhance regional pride and economic outcomes through collaborative, volunteer-led events that celebrate the arrival of spring and the new vintage.
  • To nurture relationships across the broader Tasmanian wine, food, and creative industries, offering experiences that inspire the senses and deepen appreciation of place.
