Certification from the Canadian Grapevine Certification Network will allow you to proudly show growers that your nursery offers high-quality, sustainable domestic grapevine material, that has been virus tested.

Read our Long Term Virus Strategy plan
Grapevine viruses pose a significant negative economic impact on the industry resulting in reduced yields, lower sugars, less colour, lower levels of aroma and flavour compounds and delayed ripening which translates into lower quality wines for the Canadian and international markets.
CGCN-RCCV would like to see a long-term virus strategy implemented in Canada by 2025.
