ROEBUCK VITICULTURE ACADEMY 2026

AN INVITATION TO APPLY

Growing the finest fruit is key to exceptional vintage sparkling wines. Led by our Head of Viticulture, Jake Wicks, this three-day programme blends expert-led theory with hands-on vineyard workshops across the growing season, focusing on pruning, canopy management and harvest.

Previously reserved for our trade partners, a limited number of places are available by invitation to sommeliers and wine professionals for 2026.

COURSE OVERVIEW

MASTERING THE ART OF PRUNING – MARCH 2026

Pruning is one of the most important tasks in the vineyard as it influences both the quantity and quality of fruit produced during the growing season.

LEARNING CANOPY MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES – JULY 2026

Discover the techniques we use to improve grapevine balance and optimise fruit quality at our summer workshop.

THE IMPORTANCE OF HAND-HARVESTING – OCTOBER 2026

Harvest is one of the most exciting times in the vineyard, but it also requires meticulous care and attention to ensure that only the finest fruit is sent to press. Understand the importance of hand-harvesting at our autumn workshop.

All workshops will take place at our Roebuck
vineyard situated close to Petworth in West
Sussex.

Lunch, refreshments and course materials
will be provided by Roebuck Estates.
