There’s a palpable energy surging through the global regenerative agricultural movement right now, and the epicenter of this enlightened farming philosophy when it comes to growing wine grapes is right here on California’s Central Coast.
Paso Robles is home to both the first regen-certified vineyard in the country at Tablas Creek as well as the planet’s most thorough investigation of how these methods compare to conventional farming at Robert Hall . Santa Barbara vintners, meanwhile, are deeply engaged in the One Block Challenge , with more than 15 estates actively converting acreage over to regenerative methods as you read this.
Into this forward-thinking milieu comes the Mindset Regeneration & Resilience Symposium , a three-day conference featuring two dozen speakers and intensive workshops at Cambria Winery in the Santa Maria Valley from June 8 to 10. The brainchild of longtime Napa Valley sustainability expert Anna Brittain , the itinerary is aimed at the wine industry and perennial crop farmers but should actually appeal to anyone interested in learning more about how the regenerative mindset is reshaping agriculture across the world.
