A Look Back at Viticulture Practices for the Last 45 Years and Where We Go from Here to Sustain a Fruitful Valley

Join us as we take a look back in time at the farming practices of the past compared to those of today and what we expect moving forward. Viticulture across the industry has evolved to include more sustainable practices, organic farming and new strategies to create beautiful wines while preserving the integrity of our land. We face different issues than those of the past, including how to best manage climate change. Join founding Clos Du Val Winemaker Bernard Portet and President and master grape grower, Jon Mark Chappellet as they engage in an active conversation and vertical wine tasting showing the then and now.
