Optimization of Grape Production in Eastern Canada - CAP Activity 9
This webinar is part of a mini-series dedicated to highlighting final results from some of the research projects completed under the CAP Grape & Wine Cluster (2018-2023). This session, held on May 22nd, 2025, focused on Activity 9: "Optimization of Grape Production in Eastern Canada." We were joined by Dr. Karine Pedneault from Université du Québec en Outaouais (UQO).
Climate is the most important element when growing grapes in cool to cold areas such as those found in Eastern Canada. Although several practices are in place to increase crop quality and productivity, many unknowns remain regarding this industry. Understanding how climate affects berry quality is an essential step to better understand cold-climate terroir and how to optimize the relationship between growing conditions and grape varieties to then optimize wine quality.
