IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN! Looking forward to the Eastern Winery Exposition coming up March 25-27, 2025 in Lancaster, PA. This year, I will be reprising my role as the auctioneer which happens directly after the award dinner. Looking forward to seeing all my industry friends, walking the trade floor, and attending to many seminars. Always a great time and super super informative. EWE is designed to provide Eastern U.S. and Canadian wineries, vineyards and suppliers with an easily accessible, affordable and professional meeting place, trade show and Eastern-focused conference. EWE provides numerous opportunities for meeting the experts; sharing wine, knowledge, tips & techniques; networking, learning, socializing, equipment purchasing and wine tasting.
Richard Leahy, Marcia Gulino, and Chuck DiFasi are there as always. A great group that makes the event run like a machine.

A General Session on Tuesday will kick off the Workshop program at 10:30 am. Wine industry analyst Andrew Adams will present data and analysis on the current state of the U.S. Wine Industry and production trends. This session is open to all Workshop attendees. There will be a series of sessions on permits, records compliance, taxes, and succession planning. There will also be another series of sessions on business building - growing sales, building networks, and business expansion.
There's also a whole series Safety & Bioprotection Issues! And of course there's the trade show, and the annual awards dinner, and of course the anual charity auction hosted by yours truly - me, Carlo DeVito.

The License to Steal Wine Marketing Conference® (LTS), chaired by Donniella Winchell, Executive Director of the Ohio Wine Producers Association, where wineries, growers and ancillary entities willingly share ideas for marketing, branding, will once again present a full Marketing track as part of the EWE Conference. Separate EWE & LTS registration is not required. Anyone with an Eastern Winery Exposition Conference pass will also have access to LTS Marketing sessions.
Boordy Vineyards is well represented.
It's the best and most important wine industry event for trade professionals east of the Mississippi. And one of the best parts is seeing and talking with all the winemakers, managers, and owners. An invaluable resource overall!
