The Sonoma County Winegrape Commission was established in 2006 as a non-profit marketing and educational organization dedicated to the promotion and preservation of Sonoma County as one of the world’s premier grape growing regions. With more than 1,800 growers, SCWC’s goal is to increase awareness and recognition of the quality and diversity of Sonoma County’s grapes and wines through dynamic marketing and educational programs targeted to wine consumers around the world.

Winegrape growers, grape buyers, wine consumers and the general public.

Please see live site to get a hefty dose of what the SCWC offers! There is a lot of content on the site - check it out.

Sonoma County is a beautiful and unique place, and we want to convey this on our website.
