The First New Zealand Wine Industry Technical Conference - Christchurch June, 2011

Planning was well underway for this two day conference to be held in Christchurch in June 2011 when the disastrous February quake struck. Rather than shift the conference to another venue it was decided to postpone it until 2012. The conference will probably be held in early July in a venue yet to be decided. Information will be notified on this site and by email newsletter.
