Customer Reviews from 2022.
"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!"
