Following a highly competitive selection process, Wines of Western Australia is proud to announce Danni Mackenzie and Mick Lloyd as the recipients of the 2025 funding grants to attend the 19th Australian Wine Industry Technical Conference & Trade Exhibition (AWITC) in Adelaide this July.

Through the Wine Australia Regional Program funds and support from the Australian Wine Research Institute, each recipient will receive $2,000 in support to attend this premier event, which is the pinnacle of technical exchange and innovation for the Australian wine industry. With its dynamic mix of plenary sessions, workshops, student forums, and a world-class trade exhibition, AWITC offers a rare opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research and technology — and connect with leading voices from across the sector.

We’re excited to support Danni and Mick as they take this important step in their professional development and represent the future of Western Australia’s wine industry!
