Friends of the Grapegrowers

Friends of the Grapegrowers (FOG) is the community side of the Napa Valley Grapegrowers, created to connect our neighbors, visitors, and wine lovers more closely to the land and the people who care for it.
FOG brings the story of Napa Valley agriculture to life through our monthly newsletter, community vineyard walks, the Napa Farmers’ Market, and signature events like Afternoon in the Vineyards. These experiences offer a closer look at
sustainable farming, environmental stewardship, and the thoughtful practices that make Napa Valley
a world class wine and agricultural region.

If you love visiting the Valley, if you treasure open landscapes and rural character, or if you simply love great wine, FOG invites you to look deeper. Exceptional wine begins in the vineyard, long before it reaches the bottle. By engaging with FOG, you gain a behind-the-scenes view of the dedication, innovation, and care that define Napa Valley grape growing. Whether you are a longtime local, a devoted wine enthusiast, or someone newly curious about life among the vines,
​Friends of the Grapegrowers offers a meaningful way to connect with the roots of Napa Valley.
