Extension field days are a great way for commercial and backyard growers to come together, ask questions, and learn from each other. 

This year's UMN Annual Grape Extension Field Day will showcase research in cold-hardy varieties, pest and disease management, and winemaking best practices. A tasting of 50 grape varieties will be offered, some of which are not commercially available yet. Madeline Wimmer, who recently started as the new UMN Fruit Crops Extension Educator will also be attending and available to meet and connect with growers. 

Date: Saturday, September 9th

Time: 10:00am-12:00pm

Location: The Horticultural Research Center, 600 Arboretum Blvd., Excelsior, MN 55331

The Annual Grape Extension Field Day is hosted by the UMN Grape Breeding and Enology Program, in partnership with the UMN Landscape Arboretum. This event is free and registration is not required.
