Last year the YVWA launched its Vinification Fund, which is a separate stand-alone fund that will pay for vines planted by Yucaipa Valley growers. 100% of all proceeds donated to the Vinification Fund will be allocated to growers in the form of grant funding to help offset the initial costs of vineyard projects. So far we've raised thousands of dollars for local growers, and we'll be starting the process of disbursing these funds this summer!

You can make a direct donation now by clicking here and donating through the Alliance website, or you can attend our Vine Drive on Sunday, April 30th at Suveg Cellars! For every bottle of wine purchased on the 30th, Suveg Cellars will donate $5 dollars to the YVWA Vinification Fund to help support ongoing vinification efforts in the Yucaipa Valley.

The YVWA Board will also be hosting an Industry Day at Suveg Cellars to discuss classes, updates on community action initiatives, and much more! The YVWA Board will be speaking around 2 pm, and our raffle will take place between 4-5 pm.

Details of this event are below:
