This workshop arises from an industry’s need to address the climate crisis at scale, collectively, both through mitigation and adaptation measures. To start, wine companies need to understand their dependencies and impacts, the sources of their emissions and, above all, that climate action is accessible, affordable (the opposite – inaction – may be extremely expensive) and a responsibility at the range of organizations of all sizes, regions and profiles.
The Porto Protocol brings an eagle’s eye approach on solutions for wine in a changing climate, an outcome of observing, talking, listening and gathering different perspectives, approaches, innovations, best practices and trends taking place as we speak with many different players across the globe.
The result is a hands-on approach workshop that digs into the carbon footprint of wine from soil to sip and considers the many options available for a more applied and proactive carbon management. We will deliver a thorough view on wine’s carbon footprint and beyond, gathering experts and producers that will share with you their knowledge and solutions.

The first Sustainable Wine Roundtable Global Conference 2022 will be held online on June 22nd & 23rd. There is no cost to attend.
The conference will cover issues related to sustainability including:
- Vineyard inputs: A new approach to an old debate. Protecting human health, the environment and productivity.
- Packaging: Mitigating glass impacts - is standard size & weight the key?
- Consumers say they want sustainable wine; how can retailers deliver?
- Carbon accounting: harmonising the metrics and methodologies. Is standardisation a realistic goal?
- How will the Sustainable Wine Roundtable catalyse change in the global wine industry? And why does it matter?
- Strategy Panel: Why is sustainability now not a choice but a necessity? What does it mean for wine businesses?
- Sustainable tourism: How do we link sustainable tourism with sustainable wine?
There will be over 50 speakers in two days (agenda timings designed for PM Europe, AM USA) from: Viña Concha y Toro; VSPT Wine Group; Moët Hennessy; Treasury Wine Estates; Whole Foods Market; Systembolaget; Château Léoube; Vintage Wine Estates; Enotria&Coe; Amorim; Cloudy Bay; Domaine Bousquet; Catena Zapata; Waitrose & Partners

This in-person, outdoor educational event will feature a series of educational rotations, with 30 minute stops at four themed stations. On-site check in begins at 8:00 AM and the event will be done by 11:00 AM.
Station 1 – Assessing Coverage and Drone Spraying Learn about state-of-art on UAV based spraying, including the types of platforms available, what nozzles they use, and their flight speed/altitude attributes (along with swath width). Learn about pertinent FAA and state regulations on drone spraying. This station will include a demonstration with a DJI Agras T20 drone, and attendees can see what the spray coverage looks like in a full-canopy vineyard. Presented by Lav Khot, Washington State University.
Station 2 – Non-residue spraying – Ozone, Oil and UVC Come and see these alternative pest management technologies in action! This station will demonstrate machines that apply ozonated water, heated horticultural oil, and UVC light. It will present information on the logistics of the machines and their efficacy for disease management in vineyards. Presented by Lexie McDaniel and Jake Schrader, Washington State University.
Station 3 – Smart Spraying & Solid Set Canopy Sprayers Different ways to apply pesticides, through the “Intelligent Sprayer” and Solid Set Canopy Delivery System will be explained, including how they work and how they can be used to improve spray application. Both systems will be demonstrated in-field so participants can see the differences in how they function, including a visualization on total products that are used, and what their spray coverage is with these two application approaches. results will be discussed. Presented by Ramesh Kumar and Datta Bhalekar, Washington State University.
Station 4 – Commercial Rate Controllers VineTech and AgOtter will present information on their sprayer rate controllers, and how they can be used to assist in more accurate pesticide application and monitoring of product use in vineyards for smarter pest management. Presented by Grant DeVries (VineTech), and Dave Nerpel (AgOtter).
