The Hon. Danny Pearson, Minister for Economic Growth and Jobs (Vic), Media Release, 16 Feb 2026
Some of Victoria’s top drops are headed to the world’s largest wine museum, further cementing our international reputation.
Minister Pearson today revealed seven Victorian wineries will be featured at the Cité du Vin in Bordeaux, which welcomes more than 400,000 wine lovers a year.
With Victoria’s exports booming, it’s another high-profile opportunity to highlight our premium wines.
The wineries on show are from Hume, Barwon, Grampians and Yarra Valley regions, showcasing the diversity and vibrancy of our wine industry. They are:
- Oakdene Wines
- Pizzini Wines
- Rathbone Wines (Mount Langi Ghiran and Yering Station)
- Fowles Wines
- Stanton & Killeen
- De Bortoli
- Yeringberg
The Victorian Wine Strategy 2025-30 outlines how Victoria will grow its $9 billion wine industry, locally and internationally.
We have more than 700 wineries – more than any other state – 770 grape growers and 21 distinctive wine regions.
In 2024-25, wine exports generated $186 million.
Labor continues to back the wine sector’s world-class reputation, which is why we’ve delivered $4.5 million to grow Victorian wine exports.
Wine is one of Victoria’s key tourism drawcards and plays an important role in regional economies.
