Wine, Dine & Donate Program

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Napa Valley Grapegrowers (NVG) relies on the generosity of donors, sponsors, grants, and members to fulfill its mission of cultivating viticultural excellence and environmental stewardship in Napa Valley.

NVG's Wine, Dine, and Donate Program offers a dynamic platform for local businesses to champion sustainable viticulture and environmental stewardship. By integrating these initiatives, the program can further engage the community and diversify our fundraising efforts.
