As I head into my third year covering the North Coast Wine Industry Expo (WIN Expo), I’m more excited than ever to be part of this incredible event that brings together the best of the wine industry in Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, and Lake counties. This year’s expo promises to be one for the books, as the WIN Expo continues to be the largest trade show and conference on the West Coast—and the second-largest in North America!
Hosted at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa on Thursday, December 5, 2024, the WIN Expo will bring together over 3,000 wine professionals. With nearly 300 exhibitors showcasing the latest products and services, the event serves as a platform for networking, innovation, and education. The event features a robust conference with four tracks: Production & Winemaking, Sales & Marketing, Strategy & Leadership, and Vineyard & Growers. Whether you’re a winery owner, grower, or involved in the industry's business side, there’s something for everyone at WIN Expo.
This year, I’m thrilled to be hosting a special live broadcast from the expo alongside my co-host, Nora Murphy, a Gundlach Bundschu wine educator passionate about all things wine. We’ll be on air from 11 AM to 2 PM, bringing you the latest buzz from the event. You can listen to us chat with key industry leaders, including George Christie, CEO of Wine Industry Network, Alberto Miglardi of APS, and the WINnovation Award winners, who are recognized for their cutting-edge contributions to the wine industry.
To catch all the action, you can listen live on KSVY Sonoma 91.3 FM, or stream online at ksvy.org. If you’re at the expo, feel free to stop by and say hello!
I’m looking forward to sharing the stories of the innovators who are shaping the future of wine, and I hope you’ll join us for this exciting broadcast. Be sure to check out WIN Expo—whether you’re in the industry or just love wine, this is one event you won’t want to miss!
