Wagga Wagga Campus Specialties
The Charles Sturt University Winery is an integral part of Australia's leading wine and food science school and, as such, is at the forefront of viticultural practices and wine making techniques. The Winery is located within the University grounds at Wagga Wagga. It was built in 1977 to support the Charles Sturt University teaching program. In 1990 the winery was restructured to become a commercial enterprise. The winery produces its own range of premium table, fortified and sparkling wines and has been awarded 22 trophies, 84 gold, 164 silver and 379 bronze medals in national wine shows.
The Charles Sturt University Cheese Factory was completed in 1998 with the Cheesemaker commencing in August of that year. Sales of cheese commenced in April 1999 from the Winery Cellar Door. As sales and reputation grew the distribution widened to stores throughout New South Wales and Victoria.
