“Father of Virginia Wine” Gabriele Rausse will lead this two-hour workshop in the Monticello vineyards. He’ll discuss the basic principles of grape growing—variety and site selection, trellis systems, soil preparation, planting, pruning, pest control, and harvesting—and provide beginning grape growers a foundation in serious viticulture.
