A full-day, online workshop for anyone thinking about entering the wine industry will cover what it takes to open up shop. Once you are finished with the work shop, make sure you get everything ready to start off as soon as possible, especially the right liquor licensing so you don’t run into any legal problems in the future.
The Prospective and New Winery Owner Workshop takes place Dec. 4 from 8:45 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
The web-only event is held by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service. It welcomes expert speakers to cover legal and permitting requirements, equipment selection, winery design, varietal selections, marketing tips and lessons learned.
“The workshop will provide what our group has identified as necessities for beginning or succeeding in the wine industry,” said Dr. Andreea Botezatu, 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 $350. Registration and online participation information are available at https://tinyurl.com/AgriLifeWineDecember4. Contact Botezatu for additional information at abotezatu@tamu.edu mailto:abotezatu@tamu.edu
