The first biannual Viticulture Technical Conference organised by the WineGB Viticulture Working Group (VWG), under the leadership of Stephen Skelton MW, was held at the Denbies Estate in late November. Over 150 delegates represented a wide range of vineyards across the country. The event was well-received, possibly because it allowed plenty of break-out time between formal presentations. This enabled delegates to catch up after the amazing 2018 harvest and view research posters from Plumpton Collegeand NIAB EMR, and to visit trade stands in the Denbies cellars. Next year, WineGB will organise a Winemaking Technical Conference and a Business and Marketing Conference and the intention is that the two will alternate.
