About Us

Who We Are

The Mendocino Winegrape & Wine Commission is  a California state government agency  designed to promote the interests of the 101 wineries and 386 winegrape growers based in Mendocino County, California. Created by the California Legislature in 2006 and funded solely by industry assessments, MWWC is dedicated to sharing knowledge of the singular attributes of the winegrapes, wines and wine estates of Mendocino County with a diversity of audiences around the world.

Mendocino county  growers and wineries benefit from research and education programs that emphasize positive relationships with winegrape and wine buyers within our own organization and the communities around us. Collaboratively, we place a strong emphasis on organic grape growing and specialized viticultural techniques appropriate to the dozens of grape varietals grown in our 12 diverse regions.
