Caldwell Vineyards Frediani Vineyard Iron Hill Vineyard Philary Vineyard Rockpile Vineyard Ventana Vineyard There are many different training systems throughout the world, but in California the main types are head, cordon and cane. Usually four seasons of growth or more are required to train a young vine properly. HEAD TRAINING The vine has the shape of a small upright shrub, with a vertical trunk 1 to 3 ft high that supports arms spaced around its head. CORDON TRAINING The trunk of the bilateral, horizontal cordon rises vertically to about 8 to 12 inches below the lower wire of the trellis, and then divides into two branches that extend in opposite directions along the lower wire to within about 10 inches of the adjacent vines. CANE TRAINING The shape is similar to that of head-trained vines, except that the head may be fan shaped in the plane of the trellis and only two or three arms on each side of the head are usually needed.
