Following our recent events on the Future of Wine, alongside our Americas and Sustainable Packaging conferences, we’re hosting this event on how to define sustainable viticulture, and how it’s best put into practice for people, planet and of course, economic benefit.
Please stay tuned. We will be releasing more information about this conference soon. Register to receive updates via email.
We’re also looking for speakers, sponsors and supporters to join – please contact us to get involved.
