The program is designed for winegrape growers, wine producers, wine merchants, vineyard managers, agroforesters, students, educators, and anyone passionate about healthy ecosystems should attend.

Connecting with each other
We learn as much from each other as we do in the classroom. After the last session on Monday, we will keep the discussion going with a happy hour and dinner featuring lamb from our vineyard and locally grown vegetables. We invite growers to bring a bottle to share with the group.
We recommend staying with the Hampton Inn & Suites in Annapolis, or the Sonesta ES Suites Annapolis if you are coming from out of town.
