The VinPro Training Courses focus on vine development, canopy management and the harvesting of wine grapes during October.

The one-day training sessions are based on the VinPro Training Package, Vineyard Practices for Vineyard Workers. Each session entails both theory and practical, followed by an evaluation. An attendance certificate is issued to those who have completed the course, and NQF level 1 accreditation can be obtained on request.
