Who are the Washington Winegrowers?

Organized in 1983, the Washington Winegrowers Association (Winegrowers) - formerly WAWGG - is the voice of the Washington grape and wine industry. A non-profit trade association, Winegrowers is dedicated to serving as the synergistic leader and unified voice – through advocacy and education – for the Washington wine industry, including both growers and vintners. Winegrowers envisions a thriving industry—recognized globally—for quality wines and vineyards, supported by exceptional education and leading edge research. Winegrowers strives to bring this vision to reality by hosting top-notch education seminars and events - like WineVit® - and by working pro-actively with policymakers, our members and regulators to create an environment where the #WAwine industry can thrive and grow.
