Old Vine Conference

Galvanising a global movement to nurture and value great old vines, and their wines.

Old vines are a beacon for talent, innovation and connection. The best old vines yield uniquely transcendent wines, incomparably rich in savour, symbolism, and heritage. The genetic material of ancient varieties, often retrieved from forgotten old vineyards, is proving vital in adapting to climate change.

Brilliant campaigns and collective action in places such as Lodi, the Barossa Valley, South Africa and Chile are raising awareness, and reaching wine enthusiasts. Researchers and viticulturists are improving viticultural understanding in how to grow healthy, viable old vines.
