Tailored to
fit your group's profile, our programs range from in-depth wine
related educational experiences to a "focus on fun" Wine
Country style:
"Grow Your Own" Grafting Seminar
Ever dreamed of owning your own estate Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard?
In the months after harvest, visitors to St. Supéry can join
a seminar called Grow Your Own, during which they learn how to graft
and grow their own vines. During the Grow Your Own seminar, a St.
Supéry viticulturist leads a discussion in the vineyard about
grape-growing, including rootstock and clone selection, grafting,
trellising and vine cultivation. Visitors then learn how to graft
the Cabernet plant to the rootstock, creating a vine of their own
to take home. Grafting graduates are rewarded with a relaxing lunch
by the winery chef on the veranda of St. Supéry’s historic
Atkinson House, paired with wines, of course. St. Supéry’s
Grow Your Own seminar makes learning about and participating in
the viticulture process good fun. The seminar price is $75 per
person. $750.00 minimum. Reservations are required. Available in
Winter and Spring. You can also arrange a private grafting seminar
for your group.
