Hear from New Zealand growers and their trials, as well as researchers from Bragato Research Institute, Linnaeus, South Australian Research and Development Institute, Plant & Food Research and more. Registration is free.

Tenders will be called next month for the first phase of the New Zealand Wine Centre just weeks after Government funding for the project was confirmed.
