New director for QCWT

The Queensland College of Wine Tourism (QCWT) Board of Management is pleased to announce that it has appointed Tony Comino to fill the director vacancy resulting from the recent resignation of Cam Dearsly.
Chair of the Board of Management, Professor Helen Garnett, said Mr Comino brings strong industry experience in viticulture, winemaking and the broader wine industry and tourism field to the board.
As owner operator, together with wife Mary, of Kominos Wines in the Granite Belt for more than 28 years, Mr Comino has a vast experience, which is recognised across Australia.
A successful wine business, Kominos Wines boasts numerous trophies and awards over many years and was a pioneer in the Asian export market.
Kominos also contributes significantly to the Granite Belt’s wine tourism sector through the operation of the cellar door and the annual “Kefi” Greek festival.
Mr Comino has provided strong leadership to the Queensland wine industry through his involvement with the Queensland Winemakers Association and Granite Belt Wine Industry Association.
He played a pivotal role in the establishment of the college, including advocacy to government and harnessing financial support from the wine industry.
