Welcome to the 9th Annual Show Me Grape & Wine Conference and Symposium. The theme to this year’s Show Me Grape and Wine Conference is “There is more than just wine in the bottle – let it out”. The end product of the grape and wine industry or wine is often the only experience some consumers will have with the grape and wine industry. Within that wine bottle is a sense of place and cultural and natural heritage once uncorked all these come alive. Pouring forth Missouri’s grape growing and winemaking cultural heritage as well as our natural heritage to preserve our historical grape biodiversity. Yes – There is more than just wine in the bottle – let it out! This year’s conference showcases cutting edge research and extension programs to elevate our grape and wine industry. Focusing on sustainable grape production and practices that elevate wine quality. Come learn the future role that Vitis rotundifolia or muscadines will play in the viticulture industry, or the role that long-lost cultivars may play for Missouri viticulture or on the wine arena, how the WISE program will elevate Missouri wines and so much more.
