The 2026 Sustainable Winegrowing Summit is coming to Walla Walla, Washington May 6–7, 2026. This event represents a tremendous opportunity for growers, vintners, and industry supporters to connect, learn, and shape the future of sustainable winegrowing in the United States.

What Is the Summit?

The Summit is a national gathering of winegrowers, sustainability experts, and wine-industry professionals from across the country. Organized collaboratively by leading regional wine associations, it brings together diverse voices to exchange ideas, explore best practices, and dive deep into the challenges and opportunities of producing wine sustainably. 

Why It’s Important for Washington (and for You)

For those of us involved with Sustainable WA — the statewide certification program for Washington vineyards — hosting the Summit in Walla Walla is especially significant.

• It puts Washington on the national sustainability stage. Our growers and wineries will be center-stage, sharing what works locally and how we can lead by example.
• It’s a chance to learn from other regions—especially how they address climate risks, resource management, and market pressures in different climates. That knowledge can help us refine and strengthen our own standards.
• It offers direct benefit to growers and wineries by exposing them to cutting-edge research, best practices, and industry-wide sustainability trends — all of which can support long-term resilience and competitiveness.

As a Sustainable WA supporter (grower, vintner, or industry partner), the Summit represents not just a meeting — but a moment to shape the future of our wine community.
