Why should I attend the 2015 National Wine and Grape Policy Conference?
The National Wine and Grape Conference, put on jointly by WineAmerica and the Winegrape Growers of America, is a great way for wineries to come to Washington, DC and meet with Members of Congress and their staff. The best way to make a difference in the laws that affect you is to come to DC and meet with policy makers.
This two-and-half day conference will feature speakers, presentations and insights on the politics and policies affecting our industry. A meeting of the WineAmerica Board of Directors and the State and Regional Association Advisory Council will be included in the agenda. The conference will culminate with the annual “Wines of America” reception. Held in the House of Representatives Office Building, in concert with the Wine Caucus, this tasting demonstrates the importance of the American wine industry by featuring wine from over twenty states. This reception is your opportunity to introduce your wine to your member of Congress.
