Cellar doors in SA get funding boost

Wine tasting tours in South Australia are set to get even better with the state government putting up $1 million in grants for wineries looking to improve their cellar door experiences.

The Cellar Door Grants Program was announced by the government on Wednesday as part of a $1.8 million funding package aimed at boosting wine sales and visitor numbers in SA.

Grants of up to $25,000 are available to all SA wineries for cellar door upgrades and diversifications like new tasting rooms or bed and breakfast facilities.
