Conference to help wine sector prepare, respond and recover from fire April 9th, 2021 The grape and wine community will gather at locations around Australia for the National Wine Sector Bushfire Conference on 25 May 2021 to explore the learnings from the 2020 vintage and how to prepare, respond and recover from future fire events. The free, one day conference will focus on delivering information to ensure that growers and winemakers are better prepared, better informed and better equipped to handle the decisions that need to be made before, during and after the almost inevitable circumstances of fire in Australian summers. The nation-wide event comes just over a year following fires around Australia that raised new research projects to improve the sector’s response to fire and smoke.
