Who it serves: wineries and cellar doors; restaurants, cafés and producers who sell direct; holiday-accommodation hosts; hospitality and vineyard workers, including seasonal and young workers; the trades and suppliers who keep venues running; local government, tourism bodies and housing policymakers.
Work with us:
-
Wineries, restaurants and hosts: take the Steady Check, or tell us where your season comes unstuck.
-
Hospitality and vineyard workers, young people and jobseekers: find out about placements, skills and pathways in regional hospitality.
-
Councils, tourism bodies and policymakers: partner on pilots linking the visitor economy, worker housing and local jobs.
-
Investors and sponsors: co-invest in regional hospitality capability that keeps visitors, and workers, coming back.
Key focus: The cellar door, the café on the main street and the cottage out past town are where a Great Small City welcomes the world. We help the people behind them run businesses that are safe, fair and built to last.
The capability gap: The visitor economy is becoming one of the main economic drivers in Great Small Cities and their wine and food regions. Wineries, restaurants, cafés and holiday accommodation carry much of that growth. They do it under heavy pressure: seasonal staffing swings, a shortage of housing for the workers they need, layered food, liquor and safety compliance, and thin margins that leave little room for better systems. Many also combine roles, so one small team runs a vineyard, a kitchen and a few cottages at once.
