Description: Please join the Lodi Winegrape Commission on Tuesday, February 7th for the 71st Annual Lodi Grape Day celebration! Lodi Grape Day is hosted by the University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE) and the Lodi Chamber of Commerce’s Agribusiness Committee. For over 70 years, the Agribusiness Committee of the Lodi District Chamber of Commerce, along with the University of California Cooperative Extension, has brought information about improving yields, fighting diseases, market trends, and mechanization technologies to the hundreds of growers who attend Lodi Grape Day. After learning about relevant viticulture topics in the morning, growers, pest control advisors, winery personnel, bankers, and business leaders gather together for a special luncheon featuring a keynote speaker. Attendance during the morning presentations and wine tasting is FREE and open to everyone (no tickets or RSVP required). Tickets are required for the luncheon and keynote speaker presentation.
