Organized by

Illinois Grape Growers and Vintners Alliance (IGGVA) is an agricultural non-profit organization dedicated to developing the viticulture and enology interests of Illinois through information exchange and cooperation among Illinois grape producers and vintners. Our public-facing events serve two important purposes: first raising awareness of the #IllinoisWine industry and the world-class wines we produce in the Midwest and secondly raising awareness of the unique grape varietals that grow well in Illinois.
