The Napa Valley Vintners is the non-profit trade association responsible for promoting and protecting the Napa Valley appellation as a premiere winegrowing region. From seven founding members in 1944, today the association represents nearly 400 Napa Valley wineries and collectively is a leader in the world-wide wine industry.
The Napa Valley Vintners has generously contributed to Institute events in North America and elsewhere for a number of years and in 2010 formalised this partnership to become a major supporter of the Institute.
The Napa Valley Vintners provides up to 15 places for students of the Institute to attend the biennial Master Napa Valley Programme and contributes to the Institute’s international education and events programmes by providing speakers and staging tastings. This includes a reception and tasting for students attending the Institute’s annual residential seminar in North America, which currently takes place in the Napa Valley.
