In this talk, discover the journey of Ian Beecher Jones—a passionate British winemaker and OPENGIS.ch who set out to create an open-source workflow enabling wineries to manage, report, plan, and monitor their operations entirely within QGIS, with QField as the backbone for field data collection. From mapping vineyard posts with precision to leveraging advanced symbology and map themes, Ian’s approach transforms how vineyards are visualized and organized. Assigning attributes, defining zones, and integrating spatial data unlock new possibilities for reporting, planning, and harvest optimization—all before a single grape is picked.

Curious how knowing the exact location of every post and grape variety can revolutionize vineyard management? Join us to see how QGIS and QField blend seamlessly with the world of wine—and imagine what this could mean for vineyards in Aotearoa and beyond.
