Seminars, Workshops and Training
Each year we hold numerous technical seminars and workshops in winegrowing regions around New Zealand and sometimes in Australia. Most are technical sessions on spoilage microbes or fermentation for winery staff, but we also present occasional seminars for amateur winemakers, wine sales professionals, and consumers.
