Grape-Growing and Wine-Making: Opportunities for Investment and Sector Growth

Grape and wine production is one of the fastest growing agricultural sectors in the UK. The boom in English and Welsh vineyards is being underpinned by changing climatic conditions, technology, investment and a market hungry for high quality ‘local’ wine. This seminar is for those interested in potential ventures into viticulture (grape growing) and/or wine production. It will focus on market opportunities and risks, investment requirements and geographical suitability.
