New Viticulture Event in Calaveras County!
The Calaveras Winegrape Alliance (CWA) is delighted to announce an exciting new event designed to highlight the viticulture industry in Calaveras County and cater to the needs of small, micro vineyards and wineries. Why use a 747 when a Cessna is what you need. We are villages of wineries and vineyards and our size speaks volumes as to what our tailor-made needs are and what we can produce. We know there are others who share this wonderful dilemma, so….
Come and see what small can do!
Please join us for the all NEW....
