This course is part of a three part lecture series, offered by:

"Woods Wine - Backyard Vineyard Consulting". 

This lecture series was developed by, and is taught by, Ed Kwiek.  Ed has operated his own Backyard Vineyard since 2000.  As few as 12 vines can produce a bottle of wine for every weekend of the entire year!

This introductory session will provide a high level discussion of what is involved in establishing a Backyard Vineyard.  Topics include: site selection, cultivar selection, trellis selection, vineyard layout, cost estimating, and planning.  The objective of this class is to familiarize the aspiring backyard vineyardists with both the joy of having a backyard vineyard, and also the work involved.  After taking this class, students will be better equipped to decide if they would like to proceed with installing their own backyard vineyard.
