Follow your palate  

Great wine is central to South Australia’s identity. In fact, Adelaide is one of the great wine capitals of the world with over 200 cellar doors within an hour of the CBD.

70 percent of Australian wine research happens at the University of Adelaide’s Waite campus. Our winemakers are innovators and cultural leaders within a sector helping drive the nation’s economy.

What will you do?

Our Bachelor of Viticulture and Oenology teaches best-practice techniques for growing wine grapes and making wine. You will:

• get your hands dirty in our on-campus vineyard and learn to make wine at Australia's largest teaching winery
• build practical skills through an industry placement in viticulture and/or oenology
• study at the largest agricultural teaching and research precinct in the Southern Hemisphere
• learn from more than 150 researchers and partners in wine and grape science
• access cutting-edge research at the Australian Research Council Training Centre for Innovative Wine Production.

There are also opportunities to study and gain experience overseas.

Where could it take you?

You’ll graduate as a fully trained winemaker or viticulturist. You could manage your own winery or vineyard. You might work with the latest technologies to develop innovations and efficiencies in related industries. Perhaps you’ll focus on sustainable and natural practices, building an organic, biodynamic or solar-powered future for the wine industry.
