The DVO is led by a team of academic specialists in viticulture and oenology, supported by expert technical and administrative staff. Teaching and research are enriched by part-time and extraordinary academics, as well as dedicated researchers.
Courses are delivered by internationally recognised experts. Viticulture topics include plant management, physiology, morphology, remote sensing, table grape production, trellis systems, and sustainable water use. Oenology covers wine microbiology, fermentation processes, wine faults, contaminants, aging, and sensory evaluation.
