What makes the Sustainable Ag Expo worth stepping away from the vineyard for? Two days of research-backed education, practical solutions, and opportunities to connect with the people shaping the future of winegrowing.
Hosted by Vineyard Team, the 2026 Sustainable Ag Expo returns November 10–11 to the Madonna Expo Center in San Luis Obispo, California. The event brings together growers, researchers, pest control advisors, and agricultural professionals for a program designed to address today's vineyard challenges.
Continuing Education That Fits Your Schedule
The Sustainable Ag Expo makes it easier for agricultural professionals to earn valuable continuing education hours while gaining knowledge they can apply in the field.
Two-day registration includes access to both the in-person program and 12 on-demand online courses, offering attendees the opportunity to earn more than 20 combined Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) and Certified Crop Advisor (CCA) continuing education hours.
Online courses remain available through December 13, giving attendees additional flexibility to complete their education after the in-person event.
Research and Solutions You Can Bring Back to the Vineyard
The 2026 program features leading researchers and industry experts sharing insights into the challenges and opportunities facing winegrowers.
Session topics include:
Modern grape varieties and their role in sustainable farming

Attendees will hear the latest research, ask questions directly of experts, and explore approaches they can evaluate for their own operations.
Connections Beyond the Seminar Room
The Sustainable Ag Expo also creates opportunities for growers and agricultural professionals to connect outside the classroom.
