You’re Invited.
Regenerative viticulture is more than a buzzword or ‘organic 2.0’. It is an entirely new approach to viticulture that builds ecological function, vineyard longevity, climate resilience, and higher quality wine.
Join us in the field at Zaca Mesa, where key experts in the regenerative viticulture space will share their real-world experience in building effective regenerative programs. Learn how to design and run your own regenerative trials, and implement site-specific practices tailored to your vineyard’s unique needs.
Get your hands dirty and leave equipped with a clear framework to improve long-term vine health, enhance grape quality, and boost vineyard longevity, all while ultimately reducing your farming costs per acre. Regenerative practices pay for themselves by enhancing soil health, reducing the need for costly inputs, and extending the productive lifespan of your vineyard.
Jordan Lonborg of Coastal Vineyard Care, Charlie Dubbe of Agrology, and Caine Thompson of O’Neill Vintners/Robert Hall Winery will guide you through the core principles and applications of regenerative viticulture:
How to set up and run regenerative trials, starting with a clear understanding of your specific context and constraints
Steps for adopting a whole-systems, bioregional approach to viticulture
Methods for quantifying the impacts of regenerative practices across essential metrics including carbon sequestration, soil microbial health, soil structure, water-holding capacity, canopy temperature, yield, fruit quality, vineyard longevity, and overall cost reductions per acre
Techniques to enhance soil biodiversity and microbial activity, increasing the production of beneficial secondary plant metabolites that directly improve grape and wine quality
