viticulture
Wine grape farming
Viticulture is the cultivation of grapevines, especially for winemaking.
The term covers everything from planting and pruning to harvesting: The region's viticulture dates back to Roman times.
Wine regions are often described by their viticulture practices—organic viticulture, sustainable viticulture—which affect both yield and grape quality.
