The Napa Valley Grapegrowers will host their biennial Wine & Grape Expo on November 5^th at the Lincoln Theater in Yountville, from 9am-5pm.  This highly focused educational event offers premium winegrape growers and producers the opportunity to interact with more than 60 of the wine industry’s most prominent viticulture and enology companies, and attend in-depth seminars from leading California growers on proven cutting edge vineyard practices known to enhance wine quality.
 
The Napa Valley Wine & Grape Expo’s schedule of events will include guided vineyard-designate wine blending trials; outdoor demonstrations; seminar panels covering the best practices for improving water conservation, the economics of committing to sustainable vineyard practices, and how to best achieve high quality from disease-challenged vineyards.  Additionally, seminars related to vineyard management practices, including crop thinning & canopy management, and how these practices relate to flavor profiles in premium wine will be conducted in Spanish.
 
After the day’s seminars conclude, attendees are invited to reflect on lessons learned from the past growing season and celebrate the end of harvest with friends and colleagues at the hosted wine bar featuring selections from throughout the county.
