California Wine Resources

Seawind Wines Recommends These Associations and Resources for Fine Wine Lovers.

San Francisco Wine Association

San Franciso Wine Association

The San Francisco Wine Association (SFWA) is comprised of small, premium wineries that are producing high-end wines in the San Francisco Bay Area, with many crushing, bottling, blending, and barreling right in the heart of downtown San Francisco.

Bay Area Wine Society

Bay Area Wine Society

We seek to encourage the appreciation of wine in all its many dimensions. Reds. Whites. Flights. Magnums. The goal here is to keep it informal and fun yet informative. Anyone can coordinate a program or suggest a place to gather, so please take advantage of our participatory approach. I'm sure there will be takers for almost every occasion.

California Wine Growers Association

California Wine Growers Association

While proudly independent, CAWG members join together not only to increase their clout and take advantage of opportunities never available to an individual, but to share the company of like minded growers.

Whether at CAWG-hosted social events or district meetings or CAWG-sponsored industry gatherings, members of the California Association of Winegrape Growers take advantage of these opportunities to explore ideas, make friends and increase their understanding of the winegrape business.

Sta. Rita Hills Wine Growers

Sta. Rita Hills Winegrowers Alliance

The Sta. Rita Hills viticultural appellation is uniquely situated to receive the maritime influences that create the ideal climate for the growing of exceptional winegrapes. Inspired by the incredible potential offered within this wine region, a diverse group of talented growers and winemakers are producing some of California’s most exciting Pinot Noirs, Chardonnays and other varietals.

Santa Lucia Highlands Wine Artisans

Santa Lucia Highlands Wine Artisans

Today, over 5,500 wine grape acres are currently under cultivation, with the majority heavily weighted toward Pinot Noir (2,500) and Chardonnay (1800). The Rhone varietals are also in evidence, with Syrah from many of the properties gaining increasing notice. Winegrowers of the Santa Lucia Highlands are innovators – almost every single vineyard is a living laboratory, with new clones, trellising systems, and farming regimens being continuously explored.

Crushpad Wine

CRUSHPAD

Crushpad is a high-end San Francisco winery where you are the wine maker. Crushpad provides grapes from the West Coast's top vineyards, an industry-acclaimed wine making team and a state-of-the-art winery 100% focused on making wine in small lots.

Vinvillage Wine Society

VinVillage: Where Wine Lovers Connect

VinVillage is an exciting new social networking organization for wine and food lovers that has launched throughout the country. VinVillage has created locally based social wine groups and is connecting them with “like-minded” wine lovers in their home cities and around the U.S. by bringing the membership together with an exciting local and online “wine life-style” experience offering unique and exclusive wines, events, products and services.
