This session maps how AI adoption unfolds in three waves: Efficiency (closing the loop on irrigation and maintenance), Quality (tighter stress bands, higher packout, more uniform fruit), and how our industry will Transform as a result. Arthur Chen—one of North America’s most connected AgTech innovators—offers an insider’s perspective on how AI is transforming agriculture right now and will show practical, near-term use cases such as adaptive irrigation, predictive maintenance, computer vision, and weather intelligence that will increase farm efficiency. Chen will also highlight work from across the ecosystem alongside Verdi’s own field learnings, to show what’s real now, what’s next, and how growers, from boutique operations to multi-site enterprises, can benefit from preparing for the upcoming changes in technology as AI becomes a dependable co-pilot in the vineyard.

With hotter growing seasons and shifting harvest windows, winemakers are increasingly challenged by high pH, low acidity, and elevated alcohol in their musts. These changes can lead to wines that feel flat, overly ripe, and microbiologically unstable, often requiring higher SOâ‚‚ doses and risking aroma loss and reduced freshness.  In this webinar, we’ll explore two innovative yeast tools designed to naturally correct these imbalances from the fermentation stage:       Excellence X-Fresh (Lachancea thermotolerans): a bio-acidifying yeast that converts sugars into lactic acid, helping to lower pH, increase total acidity, and reduce alcohol in must—while boosting microbial stability. Excellence Celsius (Saccharomyces cerevisiae): a fermentation yeast that produces elevated levels of glycerol and malic acid, enhancing mouthfeel, freshness, and aroma intensity.  Together, these strains support a balanced, sustainable winemaking strategy in the face of c
