About This Show

AI-drafted summary

The Unified Wine & Grape Symposium is the largest wine and grape industry gathering in North America, held every January in Sacramento, California. It is an annual event held in Sacramento, developed since 1995 by the American Society for Enology and Viticulture (ASEV) and the California Association of Winegrape Growers (CAWG). The 2027 edition runs January 26-28, 2027, with the trade show floor open on January 27 and 28 at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center.

The program combines a two-day trade show with hundreds of exhibitors showcasing the latest products, services and technologies; educational sessions covering viticulture, enology, business and regulatory topics; and networking with industry leaders, innovators and peers, drawing decision-makers from vineyards, wineries and related businesses.

By combining a trade show with a broad spectrum of sessions, the Symposium gives attendees direct access to the latest information while offering an excellent forum for active networking between registrants and suppliers. For anyone in grapegrowing, winemaking, wine business or the supply chain, it is the industry's flagship annual event for learning, deal-making and idea exchange.

Show Highlights

  • Two-day trade show: The trade show hosts more than 900 10 ft. x 10 ft. booths and 24 large vineyard and winery machinery areas, encompassing a wide range of products related to the wine and grape industry with international representation in both sessions and exhibits.
  • Educational sessions: Educational sessions cover a wide range of viticulture, enology, business, and regulatory topics.
  • State of the Industry: A marquee general session grounding the week in market data and economic perspective.
  • Regional Wine Tasting: A signature tasting that is included with admission to the exhibits.
  • Networking: Unmatched networking opportunities with industry leaders, innovators, and peers from across the country and around the world.

In 2025, the Symposium welcomed over 10,000 industry professionals. Every January, the trade show is home to over 650 suppliers to the wine and grape industry, with thousands of industry professionals attending and over 700 booths, making it the largest wine and grape industry conference and trade show of its kind in North America. Attendees include vineyard managers, vineyard owners, winemakers, winery managers, marketing executives, retail tasting room personnel, and more.
