Life Members & Patrons

Australian Grape & Wine is honoured to continue to recognise the service and achievements of our most outstanding contributors.  As well as recognising achievement, the College also allows us to retain and make available for the benefit of the industry the accumulated experience and counsel of eminent industry members after their retirement.  Existing members annually nominate and consider possible candidates for investiture.
