Every week we will learn and apply organic and biodynamic viticulture techniques to help our grapevines to develop physiologically while benefitting surrounding biodiversity.? Engaging in the following vineyard activities: cover crop management, pruning, canopy management, frost protection, soil preparation, weed management, machinery operation, etc., we will underpin our practical activities with theoretical/philosophical readings and lectures to gain a well rounded knowledge of what it takes to grow wine grapes and their impact on the environment.
