Abstract: A method for raising vine plants having a fruiting portion and a renewal portion, such as grapevines, for enhanced production and healthier crop. The method vertically separates the fruiting zone from the renewal zone by placing the fruiting canes in an upper zone apart from the renewal canes in the lower zone. The separation of zones improves air circulation and sunlight exposure, allows the two zones to have different cultivation techniques applied as necessary and permits the harvesting of the fruit without harming the renewal canes, making the method particularly applicable for fruit that can be dried-on-the-vine, such as raisins. A vertical canopy trellis apparatus for use with the method facilitates separation of the two zones and the switch from renewal canes to fruiting canes. A double tunnel harvesting apparatus allows the upper fruiting zone to be efficiently and effectively harvested while protecting the lower renewal zone from damage.
