About the Association
The Clare Valley is one of Australia’s oldest wine regions with a history dating back to the early 1840s. The Clare Valley Wine & Grape Association (CVWGA) was formed on 1 July 2018, following the merger of wine and grower associations. The CVWGA is funded by a mix of producer levies and government grants. It has three objectives:
- Promote, enhance and protect the Clare Valley region, its brand, wine and viticulture.
- Improve the profitability of Clare Valley wine and grape businesses.
- Engage with other regional, state and national organisations, including governments, where it serves the direct objects of the Association.
About the role - Project Coordination
The Wine Tourism Project contract role will develop an international tourism program.

- Work proactively with CVWGA members to develop high-value commissionable wine-tourism products (i.e. nature-based travel, activity-based adventure, or culinary and wine tourism experiences);
- Raise the international profile of existing wine-tourism products (such as the Langton’s Clare Valley Regional Wine Show and sommelier exchange program); and
- Develop the Clare Valley’s ‘China-ready’ visitor positioning through creating on-line multi-lingual content and a ‘Clare Valley Wine Exchange’ audio visual product.
- Monitoring and evaluation and reporting including milestone and KPI reporting with funding bodies.
The role will be offered for an initial contract period of 12 months, with the possibility of an extension on a full or part-time basis beyond this period, subject to available funding.
