How can you extend your vineyard’s lifetime, utilise limited water resources effectively and manage the wine style of leafroll-infected wine grape vineyards? Learn this and more by attending a series of technical viticultural Vinpro Winetech information days that will be held from 22 – 29 May 2018 in the respective wine regions.
Experts from Vinpro, Netafim, Stellenbosch University and the Institute for Wine and Grape Sciences (IGWS) get together to bring the latest technology, research and practices in the vineyard to wine grape producers, viticulturists, farm foremen and other interested parties.
A new Vineyard Roots guide, authored by well-known viticulturist Prof Eben Archer and researcher Dawid Saayman, will also be launched at the information days and each attendee will receive a free copy.
The series is presented on the dates below, and the costs vary according to the region. Register with the relevant regional representative.
