COFFEE & VINEYARD WALK
Location
Hosted by
McLaren Vale Grape Wine & Tourism Association About
Join us on Wednesday 16 September for a relaxed coffee and vineyard walk focused on the start of the 2026–27 growing season.
We’ll begin with coffee and a chance to catch up, before heading into the vineyard for an informal group discussion on current seasonal conditions and some of the key activities growers may want to consider as the season gets underway.
Discussion will be led by Vaughn Cooke, James Hook and Jodie Armstrong, with several of the McLaren Vale irrigation trial partners also joining us to share observations on current soil moisture and what we learnt from last season’s trial.
A practical, informal morning with plenty of opportunity to ask questions, compare observations and hear what others are seeing across the region.
WHEN: Wednesday 16 September | 10:00am–11:30am
10:00am–10:30am: Coffee and catch-up
10:30am–11:30am: Vineyard walk and group discussion
DISCUSSION LEADERS: Vaughn Cooke, James Hook and Jodie Armstrong
