The Keynote Speaker Luncheon is a beloved fixture of the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium, combining food, friends and industry superstars. This year, Wine Business Monthly Editor Cyril Penn sits down with California Department of Food and Agriculture Secretary Karen Ross to discuss California’s agricultural sector and where it is heading through her unique lens as a 4-H kid on a farm in western Nebraska and former wine industry leader to now the twice-appointed CDFA secretary for one of the most diverse and extensive agriculture sectors in the nation. This fireside chat will explore California’s wine agriculture’s environmental stewardship, climate change adaptation and trade, and important takeaways for future business practices.

The luncheon will take place on Tuesday, January 23, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. This event is priced separately and includes wine and a plated lunch. Register today to reserve your spot. Seating is limited.
