The NVHF is the leading trade organization for wine professionals in the Napa Valley. With over 125 wineries in membership, we offer a vibrant community that represents a true cross-section of the Napa wine industry. Our monthly meetings provide a platform for learning, networking, and fostering DTC growth. Our meetings encourage open and lively debate and discussion.
The NVHF is a volunteer-led organization. We operate on a $0 budget and do not charge any membership dues. We believe that the only barrier to professional development should be your time and interest. Join us and gain access to industry speakers, panels, and endless opportunities to connect with fellow wine enthusiasts.
