Matt Oliver
Viticulture Tutor, Marlborough
email mattoliver@ilp.ac.nz
After 14 years working in a Christchurch printing factory my wife Katrina and I decided we needed a change in lifestyle.
5 years ago after my studies in Viticulture and Oenology at Lincoln University were complete, we moved to Blenheim where I have worked managing vineyards since. I am currently the Vineyard Manager for Huia Vineyards, a small quality focused boutique wine company.
Katrina and I have been blessed with two wonderful daughters, Aria and Juliet. We all love living in Marlborough and I wanted to help contribute to the quality of Viticulture in our region, hence my part time tutoring role with Onsite Education.

Operations Manager, Hawkesbay

My background is one of Agriculture, starting when I left school and worked on different stations to gain valuable experience and the appropriate qualification which provided me with the knowledge to manage a farming enterprise.
Prior to moving to Hawke’s Bay I managed a 5500 acre property in the Wairarapa for a number of years. When my children needed to go to secondary school the family moved north to Hawke’s Bay and I managed an 1800 acre intensive sheep and beef property north of Napier for 15 years.
I became involved in tutoring in agriculture because I have had an interest in assisting young people gain the know-how about agriculture. I have now been involved in tutoring for 15 years.
I have also had to diversify my knowledge and up-skill in the Horticulture and Viticulture sectors as there is a need to train people for these industries.
