WHO WE ARE

Founded in 1976, the Sierra Grape Growers Association represents the farmers and their families who grow grapes in Nevada County, and adjoining Yuba and Placer Counties in California. 

Our membership is available to those who either own a vineyard or are simply interested in being a member of the organization.  

Our members are interested in continually increasing their knowledge of viticultural practices in the northern Sierra Foothills, to produce premium grapes for high quality wines.

We meet monthly, usually the third Thursday evening, in Grass Valley.  Our programs either feature an industry-recognized speaker or a workshop panel discussing a specific area of viticulture or wine making.  Most meetings end with the sharing of our own wines.

Throughout the year some monthly meetings occur elsewhere, such as an outdoor pruning demonstration in a local vineyard in February, or a conducted tour of several local vineyards in mid-summer.

Our annual general meeting is held in October each year, when we elect officers and directors for the following year. 

Our members are also interested in and appreciate fine wines, often our own, and enjoy good food and social get-togethers. Thus we always enjoy our summer pot-luck picnic and our Christmas Party in December.
