Customer Reviews:
"I can't recommend it enough! The Mount Vineyard viticulture course is a great way for wine enthusiast, or drinker or those just interested, to understand how the whole growing process works. Will and his team guided us through a fantastic year. I could easily do it again next year!"
"I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this course. I was bought for me as a Christmas present and it was probably one of my best presents ever!"
"I just wanted to thank you for leading this course, I've learned a lot about the works in the vineyard in the best possible way, ie. learning by doing. Thanks for answering all of the questions (there were many, I'm hungry for the knowledge) and being patient with us making mistakes (but it seems like the vines are strong and forgiving). It was a pleasure to meet you and I really hope our paths cross again in the future."
