Wine: Fruit of the Vine Between Soil & Sun - Maryland Wine Speaker Series
Event Information
Description
This two-day workshop will focus on biodynamic viticulture in the context of soil health, vine balance and wine quality. You'll have an opportunity for hands-on experiential learning as we take a deep dive into three of the biodynamic preparations, including making, applying, and storing. In addition, you will come away with a practical understanding of vineyard development in terms of site selection, land preparation, and vine training.
The workshop will be led by Joseph Brinkley, Director of Vineyard Operations at Bonterra Organic Vineyards.
