2016 Wine & Grape Industry Forum Day 2

The SJV Wine & Grape Industry Forum is the preeminent educational and industry event in the San Joaquin Valley dealing with our Industry. This year, we have expanded our critically acclaimed event to include a trade show focusing on new technologies for vineyards and wineries, a scholarship dinner and an entire day of in-depth break out sessions dealing with a host of issues. As usual, we also have information in the second day (which traditionally has been our entire program) dealing with the 2016 crush and harvest recap, land values and sales trends, wine and grape markets, industry health and legal issues and our 2016 Lifetime Achievement Award honorees.
