In March the Occlusion project team had a trip to Lincoln University to learn about grapevine biology. As most of the team are computer scientists, a lesson was useful in learning about the different parts of the plant and what happens in different seasons.

We had a talk by Amber Parker from Lincoln University through very detailed slides. These were very informative, and the team were able to ask questions. We then went out into the vineyard which is currently covered with netting to protect the ripe fruit. Amber pointed out the features on the plants.

It was a very informative trip and we had time for a team photo before heading back to the UC campus.
