What's in store for you?
This training will take you through the whole year in the vineyard and introduce you to what growing grapes entails. You will learn:
🌱 What the vine cycle looks like throughout the year - from pruning to harvest
✂️ What are the key jobs in the vineyard: pruning, trellising, green work, vineyard protection, yield control
🍂 How terroir, climate and vineyard care affect the final quality of the wine
🚜 How manual vs. mechanical work in the vineyard works and when does it make sense
🍇 How the winemaker decides on the right harvest date and why it matters so much
All of this in a clear, practical way, with an emphasis on how each activity affects the character and quality of the wine you'll get in your glass later.
Why come?
✨ Because good wine starts in the vineyard
✨ Because understanding wine means knowing its origins
✨ Because winemaking is not only romantic, but also hard and precise work - and that's where its magic lies
In a beautiful setting by the Vltava River, during a wine celebration, we will delve together into the story of wine from the very beginning - in clay, sunlight and the care of human hands.
Applications & further information
You really only need to come to the festival and the training will take place directly from the stage at 3pm.
The training includes light refreshments and a handout with a yearly calendar of work in the vineyard.
Come expand your horizons, soak up the atmosphere and understand why wine starts at the root - literally.
We look forward to seeing you in the inspiring setting of the wine festival overlooking the Vltava River!
