The New York Wine & Grape Foundation invites winery and grower members to attend an upcoming regional Listening Session focused on the needs, challenges, and opportunities facing New York’s grape growing and winemaking community. Lunch will be provided, so come hungry for both good food and meaningful discussion.

Featured Update: Key Insights from the New York Wine Industry Leadership Summit
Get a clear, high-level look at what emerged from the New York Wine Industry Leadership Summit: The Up State of Wine, where industry leaders from across the state came together to discuss the future of New York wine. We’ll share the major themes and early priorities identified around marketing, tourism, and public policy, and what they could mean for the direction of our industry over the next several years.

Featured Highlight: First Look at NYWGF’s New Member Portal
Be among the first to see NYWGF’s new members-only portal in action. We’ll provide a live preview of how this new platform will make it easier to access your benefits, find resources, stay informed about events and opportunities, and connect more directly with the Foundation and fellow members.

This is not a continuation of the Summit, but rather an opportunity to keep members informed while creating space for regional voices to be heard.

The heart of this event is listening.

This is more than an information session—it’s your opportunity to:

Share challenges and regional needs
Offer ideas and perspectives
Ask questions and engage in open dialogue
Help shape statewide research, programs, and priorities

Together, these conversations will help guide NYWGF’s work and ensure it reflects what matters most to the people growing grapes and making wine across New York.

NYWGF is thankful to our partner, , for making this visit to the region possible. This public-private partnership showcases the impact that we can have when we work together towards a common goal.
