The Unified Wine and Grape Symposium hosted by American Society for Enology and Viticulture and the California Association of Winegrape Growers, is one of the biggest industry gathering of its kind in North America. The 3-day event, January 28-30, 2025, is held at downtown Sacramento’s SAFE Credit Union Convention Center.

The symposium’s trade show is from Jan 29-30 (all day Wednesday and Thursday morning) with over 900 vendor booths featuring all things related to the wine and grape industry. For home winemakers and viticulturists, the trade show is like a real time endless google search.

At the Symposium’s website, trade show only passes are priced at $40 through January 21 and $80 thereafter.
