Partner Event - Wash. State Wine Commission Research Review

Description

Get plugged into viticulture and enology research by attending the Research Review and giving your input on research proposals seeking grant funding! The Research Review, open to members of Washington’s wine industry, is a key component of Washington’s industry-driven research program. The annual event, hosted by Washington Wine, is a forum for scientists to share results of ongoing research projects and pitch new proposals to the Wine Research Advisory Committee, a subcommittee of Washington Wine. The committee serves as the scientific review arm for the state wine industry and makes research grant funding recommendations to Washington Wine’s Board of Directors for approval. Industry members attending will be asked for input on the research proposals seeking grant funding through wine research programs in Washington.

The 2026 Research Review is February 24-25, 2026 at the Washington State University’s Irrigated Agriculture and Research Center in Prosser. See the sample of an agenda for the Research Review here.
