Essential Vine and Vineyard Maintenance - Spring It On!

Brett Thiessen, winemaker and viticulturalist at Foolish Wines, shares the details of what happens in the vineyard before the buds burst and the summer growing season begins. There is a lot going on in wine regions before the summer tasting season. Brett will share tips and techniques for getting the vines ready to produce top quality fruit.

This early part of the season is a great time to visit wine country as few producers will be sold out of their top wines and you'll often find the winemaker or vineyard manager in the tasting room (multitasking!). 

This webinar will help you see and experience wine regions in the off season and it's also great advice if you have a few vines of your own or a flourishing table grape vine in your yard!
