On November 21, 2024, CAWG commemorated this extraordinary milestone with a celebration at the Kimpton Sawyer Hotel. The event included a social reception, featuring wines from throughout the Golden State, followed by a dinner and program. The evening was filled with camaraderie, reflection, and celebration as we honored the past, reveled in the present, and collectively envisioned a promising future for California winegrape growers. Thank you to our sponsors who generously contributed to this occasion.
