A full-day Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service workshop — for anyone thinking about entering or expanding efforts in the winemaking industry — will cover what it takes to get started or broaden the business.
The Prospective and New Winery Owner Workshop will be held online on Feb. 12.
Experts will cover legal and permitting requirements, equipment selection, winery design, varietal selections, marketing tips and lessons learned by AgriLife Extension specialists and Texas winemakers.
“The workshop will provide what our group has identified as necessities for beginning or succeeding in the wine industry,” said Andreea Botezatu, Ph.D., AgriLife Extension enology specialist in College Station. “We’ve made all this information available in one place over one day.”
Cost for the course is $300. Registration and information are available at https://agriliferegister.tamu.edu/wine. Contact Botezatu for additional information at abotezatu@tamu.edu.
