Join Benoît Gauthier and FTFO to learn about how growing grapes with soil care can protect the plants from extreme cold and drought.
 
Benoît is the Chief Operating Officer & Director of Winemaking and Viticulture at Noble Ridge Vineyard and Winery in OK Falls, BC. He'll discuss the journey of Noble Ridge to sustainable soil health of the vineyard.  
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since 2011, Benoît has been developing a thorough understanding of the soils and microclimates found in both of Noble Ridge’s vineyards, winning awards and influencing other vineyards. The tours he's given to Meadowlark Festival participants with FTFO are exciting and informative. 

​​

He is working with the Sustainable Winegrowing BC certification program and TOTA’s Biosphere program, in conjunction with several sustainable initiatives already in place at Noble Ridge.

Noble Ridge breaks down its Sustainability Program into the several components. Each is an important part of the overall program.
