Regenerative Viticulture - Farming for our Future

Regenerative viticulture takes farming back to its roots—figuratively and literally. It's by no means a modern concept: this farming method was the only farming method for many years before conventional techniques and technology took over. But this ancient agricultural practice has resurfaced in modern vineyards, touted as a step above sustainable, organic, and even biodynamic viticulture. At its core, regenerative farming is farming that uses natural processes to build restorative elements within the farmed space and the broader ecosystem. It is "farming in service of life," as Paul Dolan, fourth-generation winemaker and co-founder of Truett-Hurst, describes. Join this panel of experts to learn what regenerative agriculture practice means in terms of... Read more about Vineyard & Grower Track: Session 3
