First event international presence – LIFE VineAdapt partners travel to Hungary for several days
16. August 2022
In the second year of the project, the international project partners from Hungary, Austria, France, and Germany were finally able to meet on-site in a partner country. The goal of the three-day trip was to visit the project sites in Hungary.
During the first day tour, two demonstration sites in Tokaj, Hétszőlő, and Disznókő were visited. Afterward, during a meeting at the Gróf Degenfeld Hotel, upcoming tasks, deadlines, milestones as well as matters related to further financial planning were discussed. The day was rounded off with a guided tour of the wine cellar as well as a tasting of the sweet wine specialties of the Gróf Degenfeld family, who run completely organic viticulture on their vineyard in Tarcal.

The following day presented the opportunity to visit Eszterházy and Bence Soóváry demonstration sites in Eger.
All participants took advantage of the opportunity and had a lively exchange about current research results and project-relevant news during the trip, or immersed themselves in conversation with the local winemakers and scientists.
