Variety Selection & Marketing
Variety selection, like site selection, is critical for success. Learn to select optimal varieties and rootstocks for your location and local buyers.
You cannot afford to start a vineyard without this knowledge!
A new grape grower can expect to spend about $20,000 to $25,000 per acre for years 1-3 for just the base vineyard establishment if everything goes well.
I am confident this course will save you time, money, and a lot of frustration in getting your vineyard successfully launched.
