50th Anniversary

Celebrating 50 Years, and Forging the Path Forward

For five decades, the Napa Valley Grapegrowers (NVG) has been the heartbeat of Napa’s world-renowned vineyards, cultivating excellence in grape growing and preservation of the land. As we honor our 50th Anniversary, we celebrate the growers who have dedicated their lives to preserving Napa’s agricultural heritage while embracing innovation to ensure its future.

Join us as we reflect on our journey—rooted in education, advocacy, and collaboration—and pave the way forward for the next 50 years of sustainable viticulture and a thriving Napa Valley.

This April, we are thrilled that Farmstead at Long Meadow Ranch has chosen NVG as the beneficiary of its Corkage for Community program!
Each month, this initiative supports a local nonprofit by collecting a $15 corkage fee, then donate the proceeds.
We deeply appreciate their generosity and encourage you to visit Farmstead this April – bring your favorite bottle, enjoy a wonderful meal, and support Napa Valley’s growers!
