MIDDLETOWN, NY – Starting a vineyard or sustaining a new vineyard operation can be a daunting task to face alone. Especially considering the current threats imposing the wine industry, such as the spotted lanternfly.

Join CCE Orange County, Eastern New York Commercial Horticulture Program, Cornell Agritech, and the Hudson Valley Research Lab for a comprehensive and educational winemaking and vineyard management session at the beautiful Clearview Vineyard in Warwick, NY!

The session will take place on July 18, 2024, beginning at 10:00 A.M. until 2:50 P.M. Topics we'll cover include an overview of farm winery laws and regulations, viticulture throughout the seasons, an introduction to winemaking, and spotted lanternfly management. Our guest speakers, Jeremy Schuster of the ENYCHP, Anna Katharine Mansfield of Cornell Agritech, and Carlos Andres Antolino Delgado of the Hudson Valley Research Lab will share their wealth of knowledge on these topics alongside CCEOC's own Commercial Horticulture educator Erik Schellenberg.
