Activity Code: TWEX104
Overview
Join us for an activity-based experiential in the vineyard with our Halliday-rated five-star viticulturist (grapevine guru!) and learn how a grapevine produces grapes. What makes the difference between an excellent grape and an 'ornery' one and how can the viticulturist influence factors to produce the required quality and quantity within the limitations of vineyard site, budget, etc.? What pests and threats need to be prevented - or identified and removed - and how is this done? How can flavour complexity be increased while ensuring that the required grapevine yield (tonnes per acre) is achieved? These are just some of the topics to be covered and questions are encouraged. Afterwards, you can enjoy a tutored tasting including wines made from grapes from that vineyard. Lunch is available or bring your own picnic and enjoy it next to the vineyard.
