We are thrilled to welcome our members back in person this spring! After more than two years of virtual meetings we are once again holding an in-person conference here in Washington, DC. While this year’s conference still won’t quite be the same, we are striving to put together a winning agenda.

The conference combines learning, advocacy, and networking. Taking place at the Phoenix Park Hotel, minutes away from Capitol Hill, this meeting is the industry’s major opportunity to make its voice heard.

The two-day agenda will feature speakers and presentations on the politics and policies affecting our industry. It includes business meetings of the WineAmerica Board of Directors and the State and Regional Association Advisory Council (SRAAC).

The policy-focused 2022 Grape & Wine Policy Conference is your opportunity to make a difference regarding the laws that affect you.

All WineAmerica members are encouraged to attend.
