SUMMARY:[VIC] 'Out for Wine' Forum - LGBTIQ+ in the Wine Industry

Why is that?\nWhat does diversity and inclusion look like in the queer Australian wine world?\nWhat advice would you give to LGBTIQ+ students looking to get into the industry?\n\n\n\n  \nTo join the forum discussion please register via Eventbrite for this FREE event. \nDoors open at 6pm\, with the panel discussion starting at 6.30pm. \n  \n
