Spring is an active time in the vineyard, and in the market. As the 2026 growing season takes shape, the Turrentine team is looking forward to connecting with growers, vintners, and industry partners across key regions. We’re excited to share insights, listen, and engage in meaningful conversations around today’s grape market and the challenges shaping our industry.
Here are three upcoming opportunities to connect with Turrentine Brokerage:
Lodi Grape Day
Mike Needham will be speaking at this year’s Lodi Grape Day, offering a timely update on the Central Valley grape market. His presentation will cover current pricing dynamics, supply trends, and what growers can expect heading into harvest. Lodi continues to play a critical role in the California wine landscape, and this event is always a valuable forum and well attended.
