WiVi RETURNS FOR 3RD VERSION ©

            This now annual rite of spring takes place March 17-18 (Tues/Weds) at the Paso Robles Event Center. Officially the WiVi Wine Industry Central Coast Conference & Trade Show, the event was successful in 2013 and exploded last year. Billed as the largest of its kind south of San Francisco, it is hosted by Wine Business Monthly magazine and Precision Ag Consulting. While primarily aimed at those in directly involved in wine production and related support industries, for the true wine geek, it offers some interesting and informative symposia.

There are general session looking back to trends coming from the past year, new groundwater regulation and what 2015 looks like. Breakout topics include enology, viticultural topics, the state of the business, DTC & social media metrics. Lunch is provided both days, a Rose focus tasting is held on Tuesday and the grand tasting features local garagistes. Plus you can celebrate St. Patrick's Day at the evening kickoff party.
