Smart Vines, Sustainable Wines: AI for Prediction & Precision Inputs
This session brings together CropMind, Sonoma County Winegrowers, and Reservoir Farms to highlight a new collaboration in Santa Rosa under the Farm of the Future initiative. Panelists will explore how AI, automation, and sustainable vineyard practices are converging to shape the future of premium winegrowing.
CropMind will showcase its field-ready, AI-powered yield prediction and disease/stress detection tool, which uses simple smartphone or GoPro footage to help growers reduce inputs and make smarter, low-impact decisions. CropMind's AI solution enables growers to precisely target inputs based on real-time field data, leading to measurable reductions in fertilizer and water use while maintaining or increasing yield.
Sonoma County Winegrowers will discuss how these technologies support the region’s long-term sustainability and global competitiveness.
Reservoir Farms will share how its “Olympic Village of AgTech” model is expanding into Sonoma County to pilot robotics and advanced automation for vineyards.
Together, the panel will offer a forward-looking discussion on how collaborative innovation can accelerate climate-smart viticulture across Sonoma County.
