Affiliate Sponsor Program

Established in 1991, the Lake County Winegrape Commission (LCWC) has played a central role in advancing Lake County’s long-standing commitment to producing high-quality winegrapes. As a state agency overseen by the California Department of Food & Agriculture, LCWC serves Lake County grape growers through strategic marketing, research, and educational initiatives.
