The New Zealand Society for Viticulture and Oenology is excited to announce its theme for the 2024 Technical Workshop - ‘Keeping It Fresh’.
Divided into five sessions, NZSVO’s workshop will weave its way through the complex wine sector - touching on ‘fresh thinking’ at every stop. Consider unique perspectives, technology and trials, wine trends, packaging innovations and consumer facing strategies. The NZSVO will integrate themed tastings within the program so delegates can assess the content of presentations in the glass as well as interact with speakers and peers in a collaborative environment.
