In 1850 he was employed by John Reynella to work on the Reynella vineyards near Adelaide. By 1857 he had purchased his own vineyard and produced his first vintage. And by 1874 had purchased the famous Tintara vineyard in McLaren Vale from Alexander C Kelly. In 1883 he travelled to the United States visiting California Ohio and the East Coast. In California he visited San Francisco the Napa Valley Sonoma and many vineyards wineries and negociants down the coast to Los Angeles. He wrote about his experiences and published them as Notes on the Vineyards in America and Europe published by L Henn in Adelaide in 1885. He was also a founding lecturer on viticulture and wine-making at Roseworthy Agricultural College the leading Australian winemaking institute when it opened in 1885.<br /> <br /> The comprehensive and detailed essay on Californian wine in Notes on the Vineyards reproduced here is considered to be the first comprehensive text about early Californian winemaking.

He emigrated from Britain to Melbourne in 1859 and began working for The Age newspaper. He then moved to South Australia and in 1861 he wrote a series of articles for the Adelaide Advertiser on the vineyards and orchards of South Australia. In 1864 he returned to Melbourne and undertook a similar commission for The Age writing a series of articles on a number of the vineyards of Victoria. The articles provide a valuable and unique account of the emerging pre-phylloxera Victorian wine industry with descriptions of the founders of the Geelong Western District Ballarat and Bendigo. The series is incomplete as neither the Yarra Valley nor Sunbury are mentioned; perhaps because Ward returned to South Australia to take up a new position. Unlike the South Australian articles the Victorian articles were apparently not published in pamphlet form.<br /> <br /> Scarce.
