Growers will learn best practices to reduce sunburn liability and improve vine balance during ripening.

Join us in the vineyard where we will show growers a number of canopy management trials and how to measure microclimates and discuss the management decisions that can be made for vineyard design, trellis design and retrofit, and canopy management.
