Description: The Lodi Winegrape Commission is thrilled to partner with the Xerces Society to encourage the use of native plants in the Lodi region. Hedgerows and cover crops deliver numerous benefits to the winegrape farmer. Besides enhancing the visual appeal of our region, hedgerows and cover crops increase agricultural biodiversity on the ranch, provide habitat for wildlife and beneficial insects, capture runoff, improve soil health, and increase water penetration. Join us for a hands-on, interactive workshop where you’ll be able to see how easy it is to plant and maintain a hedgerow – and discuss the benefits and costs of an established hedgerow with the farmer. We’ll provide information on which native species to plant, beneficial insects, and financial assistance opportunities for the farmer. Bring your camera and gloves!

Description: The Unified Wine & Grape Symposium program features sessions and a two-day trade show. Since the American Society for Enology and Viticulture (ASEV) and the California Association of Winegrape Growers (CAWG) joined forces to create the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium in 1995, it has become the largest wine and grape conference in the nation. And while we’re proud of the size of the Unified Symposium, it is our established reputation for providing outstanding, current and breaking news, as well as information and content that we find most rewarding. As one of the industry’s premier gatherings, the Unified Symposium presents a vital platform to focus on the issues shaping today, while interfacing the topics and trends shaping the future of grapegrowing and winemaking.
By combining a trade show with a broad spectrum of sessions, the Unified Symposium provides attendees direct access to all the latest information. The Unified Symposium also provides an excellent forum for active networking between registrants and suppliers. Winemakers and grapegrowers not only have a chance to renew and make new friendships, but to actively discuss and debate information and ideas that directly influence their work and success.
The Unified Wine & Grape Symposium trade show is home to over 650 suppliers to the wine and grape industry. With nearly 14,000 industry professionals attending and 730 booths, the Symposium is the largest wine & grape industry conference and trade show of its kind in North America.
