Step Off the Block 
this May.

Two grower trips, practical insights, real conversations and what's next for the industry.

We’re bringing together Riverland growers to connect, compare and learn across two different opportunities in May – both designed to deliver value you can take straight back into your vineyard.

 

What’s covered
To make it easier to attend, Riverland Wine will contribute toward:

• Accommodation (up to $150 per night)

• Travel costs (cents per kilometre reimbursement)

Car-pooling is encouraged where possible. Full claim details will be provided prior to travel.

A small deposit ($50–$100 depending on your selection) will secure your place and will be refunded after the trip.
