Session Description

Join us for a hands-on vineyard learning day where growers will have the opportunity to compare vineyard practices, discuss seasonal management strategies and learn directly in the field. We’ll discuss cover crop benefits and challenges in vineyard systems, soil health and vineyard floor management, early-season pest and disease management strategies, canopy management approaches for cool climate vineyards, and compare practices across different vineyard sites and conditions.

This event is designed to encourage practical discussion, peer learning and knowledge sharing among growers in the region. Walk the vineyard, ask questions and gain insight into management decisions being made throughout the growing season. Join us in the vineyard and take part in the conversation!
