Through the diverse background and skills of the Wine Network team of
consultants and associates, we have the capacity to manage a wide range
of projects for the wine and beverage industry. Projects range from
small scale expansion through to full winery establishment.
We recognise
that most winemakers may not have the resources to manage their own
projects and may require assistance from an organisation that understands
their total business. In addressing their specific needs we may take
on one of three roles:
- As advisers
to the winemaker/owner who is choosing to directly control the project
development. In these cases we provide an independent third party
assessment of the project at all stages.
- As an
integral part of the project team working closely with the architects,
builders, contractors and other participants. In this role we are
the winery owner’s representative on the team responsible for developing
the winery to suit their production requirements.
- As overall
project managers for the delivery of turn-key wineries in accordance
with the client’s budget and time restraints.
Wine Network
projects include some or all of the following elements:
- Feasibility
studies;
- Concept
development;
- Operating
and capital cost estimation;
- Equipment
specification, sourcing, procurement, installation, commissioning,
operation and maintenance;
- Design
and installation of winery processes, refrigeration, effluent treatment,
packaging and other services;
- Development
of start-up and operating procedures;
- Operating
personnel recruitment and training;
- Contract
preparation, negotiation and execution.
We are
currently involved in the establishment of a 500 tonne turn-key winery
in Central Victoria and are providing advice to several other projects.

- Stoniers
