Wine Market and Vineyard Valuation Overview, Vineyard Tour, and Wine Tasting Social

Please join the Northern California Chapter of RICS Americas for a morning of wine market and vineyard valuation education, winery and vineyard tours, wine tasting and lunch at the distinguished Chimney Rock Winery in the Napa Valley. We will begin the morning by hearing from vineyard valuation expert Tony Correia, MRICS, ARA and premium wine industry expert Rob McMillan as to the state of the industry and an overview of current issues in vineyard valuation. Following the presentation, the Assistant Winemaker at Chimney Rock, Jeff van de Pol, will personally guide us on a private vineyard and winery tour as well as taste us through some of the wines produced at this winery. Lunch will be provided after the wine tasting.

The event promises an exceptional overview of winery and vineyard issues by our own top experts and rare participation by a practicing winemaker in this extraordinarily beautiful, world-renowned winemaking region. It also offers a wonderful networking and social opportunity. The presentations, vineyard tour and wine tasting will focus on site specific vineyard management and winemaking practices and the effect they have on the wines. Access to this caliber of industry professionals in the industry is difficult to come by at any price. This is a must-attend event for wine enthusiasts!
