    Sarah delivered a talk titled:

    An overview of the importance of local cultural heritage in visiting a wine region. Case study of Lazio.

    I. Why are the humanities and people of a region as important to experiencing a wine region as the vines and wines themselves?
    2. People as Terroir (winemakers, local farmers, visiting nearby towns)
    3. Example: Lazio wine region, getting visitors beyond Rome for a well rounded cultural experience which includes people, wine, food and cultural heritage
    4. Why wine is not enough in wine tours. Why cultural heritage can sometimes sell wine regions, especially in unknown regions.
    5. Be a cultural ambassador of your wine region! Get the community involved: Examples.
