The North Coast Wine Industry Expo was established to provide Winery and Vineyard professionals in Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino, Lake, Solano and Marin counties access to the latest products and services available. The event will take place at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds and will include a traditional trade show featuring up to 180 of the industry’s best suppliers and service professionals. Exhibitors will be providing a “Sneak Peek” into new products and services planned for 2013 and/or offering special pricing on end of year purchases.
In addition to the trade show, a day-long conference featuring four sessions will be presented by leaders in Viticulture, Marketing, Production, and Distributor Management. Each discussion will emphasize latest trends along with information that every industry professional needs to be better prepared for a successful upcoming year.
