March 25, 2026 — AWG Wine Advisors announced the launch of its inaugural Wine Business Seminar, a full-day industry forum taking place May 21, 2026, at The Flamingo in Santa Rosa, California. This event will bring together wine industry professionals for a day of strategic discussion, expert presentations, and interactive networking focused on the business challenges facing today’s wine industry.
Designed to go beyond traditional conference formats, the Wine Business Seminar will combine keynote presentations with panel discussions, roundtable conversations, structured networking opportunities, and even a full, professionally guided wine tasting.
The program will feature keynote speaker, Karen MacNeil, author of The Wine Bible, a full wine tasting led by Nova Cadamatre MW, as well as panels and presentations from other wine industry leaders including Tony Glorioso, Mario Zepponi, and Tony Correia.
Sessions throughout the day will address key wine business topics, including sales and marketing strategy, systems and technology, mergers and acquisitions, generational shifts in demand, and evolving market dynamics.
The event will run from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and will include breakfast, lunch, a guided wine tasting, and a closing roundtable happy hour designed to facilitate peer discussion and industry networking.
For CPAs, the seminar also qualifies for 7 NASBA CPE credits.
Attendance is intentionally limited to preserve quality of discussion and meaningful interaction among participants.
