Introducing the new Hunter Valley Wine & Tourism Association Youth Ambassador

Alisdair Tulloch has been voted in as the Youth Ambassador to the Board of the Hunter Valley Wine & Tourism Association. This position is the first time the Hunter Valley association has introduced a youth leadership position on it’s board. Congratulations Alisdair, we can’t wait to see what you will achieve!

Alisdair Tulloch is a fifth generation grape grower and winemaker from the Hunter Valley, Australia. Having grown up in the wine industry, Alisdair has seen the effects of a changing climate in vineyards throughout his life, which inspired him to lead a charge of sustainability in his region. His family’s estate Keith Tulloch Wine achieved carbon neutrality in 2018, and was certified carbon neutral by the Australian government in March 2019 – just the second winery in Australia to achieve this certification. Besides his work in emissions reduction and sequestration, Alisdair is also a vocal advocate of climate change action and communicates the pressing issues facing the wine industry from this threat. Beyond climate, Alisdair is a hands-on practitioner of regenerative viticulture focusing on soil health and microbiology, as well as working passionately to preserve native biodiversity through multiple seeding and planting projects on the vineyard.
