ABOUT US
LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR VISION, MISSION AND TEAM.
The Midwest Wine and Grape Summit is brought to you by:
Illinois Grape Growers & Vintners Alliance
The Illinois Grape Growers and Vintners Alliance (IGGVA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to developing the viticulture and enology interests of Illinois through information exchange and cooperation among Illinois grape producers and vintners.
Missouri Wines
The Missouri Wine and Grape Board coordinates our marketing and public relations activities with wholesalers, restaurant operators, retailers, and the public. Our goals are to strengthen interest in, and patronage of, our state’s grape, grape juice, and wine industry. We also underwrite the Grape and Wine Institute at the University of Missouri – Columbia in its work with winemakers and grape growers developing grape varieties suitable for Missouri.
Missouri Vintners Association
The Missouri Vintners Association membership is made up of winery owners from throughout the state of Missouri. MVA works with professional lobbyists in Jefferson City to stay abreast and quickly address legislative issues facing commercial Missouri wineries. MVA communicates the needs of commercial Missouri wineries to the Missouri Wine and Grape Board and is a state association member of Wine America.
MVA keeps close ties with the Missouri Grape Growers Association and the Missouri Wine Technical Group in an effort to continually improve the products Missouri wineries proudly offer our customers.
