Join our Family Winery Forum
...the Family Winery International Trade Forum
at San Francisco State University

Our Family Winery Forum (FWF) is a membership group of people in similar situations facing similar issues/challenges - people in Family Wineries. As such, the FWF serves as a catalyst for forging strategic alliances betwween business, education, government, and service groups within the Wine community. Above all, the FWF serves as a special venue for members of family wineries to:

Meet peers and talk candidly and confidentially about the challenges of family wineries;

Explore up-to-date information on best practices and tools for maintaing a healthy family system while simultaneously optimizing the family winery;

Learn the skills necessary to own, manage, and grow the family winery business in today's rapidly changing international marketplace;

Network and socialize in a comfortable and safe setting.

Note: if you are interested in joining our Forum group or attend one of our programs as our guest, please contact us at Family Winery Forum (fbc@sfsu.edu) or 415-405-7722 for details.
