One Block Challenge™ Texas Launch

Date & Time: 18 November 2025, 10:00–13:00
Location: Ab Astris Winery, Stonewall, TX

We’re excited to announce the launch of the One Block Challenge™ (1BC) in Texas! This marks a major step in expanding regenerative viticulture across the region.

This launch event introduces the One Block Challenge in the Texas winegrowing context. During the session, Texas vineyard owners and winegrowers will learn how the challenge works and how to get involved. In addition, they will meet regenerative producers, technical experts, and partner organizations who are helping shape the program. The event is also an opportunity to connect with other growers who are eager to take part and build a strong network across the region.

All interested growers, partners, and collaborators are welcome.
