Winery

Dookie's history of teaching winemaking and viticulture dates back to the end of the 19th century when the winery was built in 1896. These days the winery is equipped with all the modern tools to for boutique winemaking. Our students undertake wine and viticulture intensives at Dookie to learn about the science of grape growing and wine-making as well as the operation of the winery. In our Vine to Wine intensive subject they create wine from the harvest to the bottle. Students also visit vineyards in the King Valley, Nagambie Lakes and Goulburn Valley regions to learn about the wine industry and how wine is made.
