New Viticulture Event in Calaveras County!

Murphy, CA...The Calaveras Winegrape Alliance (CWA) is delighted to announce an exciting new event designed to highlight the viticulture industry in Calaveras County and cater to the needs of small, micro vineyards and wineries! Why use a 747 when a Cessna is what you need! We are not a wine ‘country’ (you know who is). We are villages of wineries and vineyards and our size speaks volumes as to what our tailor-made needs are and what we can produce! We know there are others who share this wonderful dilemma, so….



Come and see what small can do!

Please join us for the all NEW…

Calaveras Winegrape and Gourmet, a celebration of our local viticulture and unique flavors...

On Saturday, May 31, 2008, the Calaveras Winegrape & Gourmet will showcase all aspects of the micro - village viticulture industry in Calaveras County.

Paid guests will also receive a beautiful 16 oz. Spiegelau Glass etched with our stylish logo. Educational seminars focusing on winegrape varietals suited for our areas soils and terroir will be presented by widely respected industry leaders.

CWA Industry Members, Cooperative Trade Partners and Industry Sponsors will be presenting their products/ services including glass products, wine industry equipment, packaging materials, industry software, and more!

Guests will include agriculturists, winegrape growers, winemakers, press, media, and the general public (a very wide spectrum - from wine connoisseurs and collectors to people looking for a wine that won’t embarrass them in front of their wine-snob friends).
