Wine Tourism and Cellar Door Grant – Round 8

Who can apply

The funder does not publish a structured list of eligible applicant types for this program. The eligibility criteria in the guidelines on the official page are the ones that count.

What the program funds

The Wine Tourism and Cellar Door Grant program has been introduced to support producers who add value by encouraging visitors to wine regions. Wine producers will be able to access an annual grant reflective of their eligible physical cellar door sales. Wine producers who have met the eligibility criteria in the preceding financial year will be able to access an annual grant of up to $100,000 (GST exclusive) for their eligible rebatable domestic cellar door sales.
