Join the Winegrape Growers of America (WGA)!
Why should you join?
Information sharing and communication between member states on important issues is vital to our industry. Your support—and participation—allows the voice of U.S. winegrape growers to be heard. We must continue to represent the interests of growers impacted by public policies that affect their bottom line. We want to empower growers to gather and advocate effectively through our events, networks, and communication platforms.
WGA provides a unique platform for a unified voice for the U.S. wine industry. Perhaps now more than ever, there is need for a national voice on issues that impact winegrowers across the country. In spite of a global pandemic and raging fires in the west, WGA has renewed enthusiasm on efforts to provide you with information, networking, lobbying, leadership, and facilitation in bringing winegrape growers together to identify issues and take them to the halls of Congress. WGA focuses its efforts on information, networking, lobbying and leadership, which includes regular updates on key federal issues from Cornerstone Government Affairs, hosting of the annual Leadership Luncheon, and the National Grape Policy Conference. The Leadership Luncheon is held each year in conjunction with Unified Wine & Grape Symposium in California and the National Winegrape Policy Conference is typically held each spring in D.C.
Membership benefits with WGA include:
Regular Updates on Federal Issues
Members will receive a summary of weekly issue monitoring from Cornerstone Government Affairs.
Regular News Emails and Alerts
Members will receive timely, relevant, aggregated national wine industry news from WGA.
Annual Leadership Luncheon + National Winegrape Policy Conference
The Leadership Luncheon is held each year in conjunction with Unified Wine & Grape Symposium in California and the National Winegrape Policy Conference is typically held each spring in Washington, D.C.
A little background about WGA:
In 1978, the Winegrape Growers of America was formed to provide winegrape growers across the nation the opportunity to work together on federal issues of common interest and provide members a forum to share ideas and information.
Please join us. Our goal is to get every state with a grower related organization as a member!
