Vine Master Pruners Academy becomes Simonit&Sirch Academy.
And with online courses, the Pruning Schools are back.
Next Pruning Schools will start in November 2023. The package includes 2 on-demand courses (Vine Pruner and Vine Pruner Advanced) and 3 days of vineyard practice, with full-time sessions from 8 am to 5 pm, between November 2023 and February 2024 for winter pruning and in spring 2024 for shoot select thinning.
Simonit&Sirch tutors will share knowledge about grapevine sap flow and teach innovative pruning techniques to foster grapevine health, longevity, and sustainability of the vineyard. The four fundamental principles of Simonit&Sirch Pruning applicable to all grapevine training systems will be covered in depth: respect of lymphatic flow, controlled branching, reduction of the number of wounds and execution of small pruning cuts.
A total of 14 Pruning Schools will be held in Italy (Piedmont, Trentino Alto Adige, Lombardy, Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Tuscany, Campania) and 2 in Spain in Ribera and Rioja.
Simonit&Sirch Academy is a learning platform on vine training consisting of on-demand courses, live webinars and on-field Pruning Schools. The only one of its kind, it offers on the platform 4 continuous on-demand courses and 8 recorded webinars from the vineyard and 16 new Pruning Schools each year in different regions and states.
