Sonoma Valley Vintners & Growers has partnered with the ABC to conduct training specifically for SVVGA members.

The Licensee Education on Alcohol & Drugs (LEAD) Program is a free, voluntary prevention and education program for retail licensees, their employees and applicants. The curriculum is designed for licensees, managers, and employees. There is no separate management curriculum. Program length is 3-1/2 hours.

The mission of the LEAD Program is to provide high quality, effective and educationally sound training on alcohol responsibility and the law to California retail licensees and their employees.

The LEAD Program provides the licensee and applicant with practical information on serving alcoholic beverages safely, responsibly, and legally, and preventing illicit drug activity at the licensed establishment.

The SVVGA has coordinated a training at The Lodge at Sonoma on Tuesday, May 29th, 9:00 am - 12:30 pm. The ABC requires that we have a minimum of 50 attendees. Please RSVP and add this to your calendar!
