Tickets Still Available for Grape Day 2013

Friday, April 12th, 2013

Temecula Valley Wine Country to Host 30th Annual Grape Day Conference

Purchase tickets here!

One-day conference unites winegrowers, vintners and educators from Temecula Valley and beyond to share insights on best practices for growing, making and selling fine wine

The Temecula Valley Winegrowers Association (TVWA) will host its annual Grape Day conference on Thursday, April 18 at South Coast Winery Resort & Spa, inviting aspiring and current winegrowers, vintners and the wine-curious to a full day of education and insights about the world of winemaking. Open to the public, Grape Day routinely draws attendees from throughout Southern California and beyond, bringing wine professionals and newcomers together in a shared effort to continually improve the growing, production and marketing of fine wine.

Highlights from the 2013 Grape Day conference agenda include the following presentations:

Wine Sensory and Olfactory Education, with Alexandre Schmitt, Wine & Flavors SARL.

Schmitt studied his craft at the Institut Supérieur International du Parfum in Versailles. Guided by iconic winemaker Jean-Claude Berrouet, technical director of Château Pétrus, he created the global consulting practice, Wines & Flavors.

Managing Vine Balance, with S. Kaan Kurtural, PhD; Department of Viticulture and Enology, California State University, Fresno. Dr. Kurtural joined the faculty at Department of Viticulture and Enology in 2008. Previously, he was appointed as the Senior Viticulture Extension Specialist at the Department of Horticulture at the University of Lexington Kentucky.

Regional Marketing, with Camron King; Executive Director, Lodi Winegrape Growers Association. King was vice president of state government relations at the California Association of Winegrape Growers for eight years prior to being named Executive Director of the Lodi Winegrape Commission in 2012.

The largest and most commercially successful region in the South Coast AVA, the viticultural zone spanning more than 2 million acres from Riverside County to the San Diego border, the Temecula Valley has long served as a steward of the Southern California wine community. Founded in 1983 as a way to help Temecula Valley’s nascent winegrowing community improve its knowledge of viticulture, Grape Day has since evolved into the region’s premier wine industry conference, introducing the latest research, methods and technology, and encouraging a collaborative spirit and dialogue within its membership and the broader California wine industry.

“Since 1983, Grape Day has contributed to the continued success of the Temecula AVA. Every spring, we look forward to sharing best practices, knowledge and experience with the unified grape-growing community here in Southern California,” says TVWA Viticulture Chair Ben Drake of Drake Enterprises, Inc. Ben was recently recognized by the California Association of Winegrape Growers (CAWG) as the 2013 CAWG Leader of the Year.

Grape Day tickets are $65 for TVWA members, $85 for non-members and can be purchased online at TemeculaWines.org (click on Events) or by phone at (800) 801-9463. Conference includes continental breakfast, buffet lunch and wine and cheese evening reception.

About the Temecula Valley Winegrowers Association

Comprising 35 wineries and more than 60 winegrowers, the Temecula Valley Winegrowers Association is a nonprofit regional organization dedicated to increasing awareness of the quality wines and wine grapes grown in the Temecula Valley and South Coast Appellations. Established in 1984, the Temecula AVA consists of 33,000 acres, of which approximately 1,300 acres are currently planted to commercial vineyards. Known as Southern California’s wine country, the Temecula Valley is located in Riverside County just one hour from San Diego, Orange County and Palm Springs.

Temecula Valley Celebrates First Ever “Wine Tourism Day” on May 11

Thursday, March 28th, 2013

 

The first-ever Wine Tourism Day in North America will take place on Saturday, May 11th, 2013 with wineries, hotels, restaurants, and other businesses offering a variety of events to the public throughout the country.

 

Temecula Valley wine country is proud to celebrate Wine Tourism Day with a very special tasting offer! On May 11 only, join us for “Reserve Day” and receive an additional taste of a VIP Reserve wine at any participating Temecula Valley winery!

 

Select wineries are also offering a bottle or case discount on those reserve wines (discounts may vary), so this is the perfect time to sample and stock up on some of Temecula Valley’s top shelf wines.

 

Below is a list of participating wineries offering”Reserve Day” tastings to include a specially bottled reserve wine:                             Keep checking back for added winery updates!

 

The inspiration for a Wine Tourism Day comes from Europe, where the European Day of Wine Tourism has been ongoing since 2009. Attendees of the 2012 Wine Tourism Conference, an annual gathering of the industry’s leaders, discussed bringing the concept to North America.

“There are now over 7500 wineries in 205 American Viticultural Areas, 38 authorized wine appellations in Canada, and another 40 appellations in Mexico”, says Allan Wright, president of Zephyr Adventures, the active wine tour company organizing Wine Tourism Day. “Most of these wine regions and many of these wineries are dependent on visitors who sleep in hotel beds, eat in restaurants, and buy wine from cellar doors. Wine tourism is very important to the success of many local economies and is a subject worth commemorating.”

Wine Tourism Day is supported by a number of industry partners including LocalWineEvents.com, Touring and Tasting Marketing & Media, WineAmerica, the Wine Industry Network, the Wine Tourism Conference, and Zephyr Adventures, in addition to wine and tourism associations in wine regions throughout North America.

For more information and to find a list of events on Wine Tourism Day, please visit www.WineTourismDay.org. Events differ and can range from wine pairing dinners to music events to structured tastings.

Help spread the word about wine tourism by sharing the event through your social media channels!
