"Find a site that's got good drainage and as much sun as you can get," emphasizes Lon Rombough, nurseryman and author of The Grape Grower: A Guide to Organic Viticulture.
It is also believed that the Egyptians and Syrians practiced viticulture (the cultivation or culture of grapes) as early as 3500 B.C. and the Greeks in 1400 B.C.
They try to use biological controls wherever possible, and use sustainable viticulture practices to produce the quality of grapes that they require to make their specialist product.
