Grape Pruning Workshop
Are you a grape grower looking to learn how to properly prune your vines? If so, you may be interested in joining ENYCHP's viticulture specialist, Jeremy Schuster, for a series of four-hour workshops focused on grape vine pruning. Each workshop is limited to 12 people, and pre-registration is required. The workshop fee is $40 or $120 with a Felco pruner that you keep. The deadline for ordering a Felco pruner is 2 WEEKS before the workshop date. The registration will remain open until the Monday before the workshop date, but do not select the Felco pruner option if you are less than 2 weeks away from the workshop date, and please bring your own instead.
