“A Year in the Vineyard” Viticulture Course

Keen to learn more about viticulture?

Our Viticulture course is underway for another year! Each workshop provides both theoretical and practical tuition.  Our first session in February gave an introduction into Viticulture/grapevine physiology, pruning and tying down. 

Each participant was greeted with coffee and croissants before being expertly guided through the theory of each process. They then headed out into the estate for a practical session before rounding up the day with refreshment in the restaurant with a pizza and a glass of wine.

If you are interested in wine production, a lover of the great outdoors or simply wish to try something new and would like to join one or more of the remaining workshops, please email tenacres@themountvineyard.co.uk. Individual workshops cost £65/pp.
