The world as a guest in Neustadt
In addition to the specialist program, the conference participants also got to know German viticulture. On July 6, 2022, excursions took place to wineries in the Palatinate, wine research institutions and cellar technology providers. The conference concluded with a gala dinner at Hambach Castle, the cradle of German democracy. Neustadt is the twelfth venue in a row with Bordeaux (France/2019), Salamanca (Spain/2017) and Mezzocorona (Italy/2015).
In Neustadt, there was also a supporting program for trade visitors around the conference. In addition to a wine bar on the market square, a night watchman tour was offered in the old town. In addition, 17 restaurants in the city center opened their doors to conference participants on the conference days on Monday and Tuesday. Neustadt, the Palatinate and the whole of wine Germany became a little better known internationally thanks to "In Vino Analytica Scientia", summarizes Prof. Durner. New findings from all over the world, which will help to find answers to the pressing questions of our time, were presented and debated in the Saalbau. With the new findings in the bag, it is now time to put them into practice.
A team of doctoral candidates, students and employees from the Wine Campus Neustadt and the Rural Area Service Center (DLR) Rheinish Palatinate supported the conference. "The participants were impressed by how friendly, professional and committed the helpers were. The joy and team spirit were palpable and many participants were full of praise for the young helpers," reports Prof. Durner.
After Neustadt, the University of California at Davis will host IVAS 2024.
