About the Montana Grape and Wine Association
Our Mission
The Montana Grape and Wine Association (MTGWA) was incorporated in 2014 to promote viticulture (grape growing) and enology (wine making) in the state. The MTGWA serves commercial and amateur fruit and grape growers and winemakers across Montana. An annual conference is held in the early spring of each year to bring in speakers from across the country to help grape growers and winemakers improve their knowledge and develop a sustainable wine industry in Montana. The annual conference also brings together people to taste, evaluate, and improve Montana wines, ciders and meads.
“The Montana Grape and Wine Association is a gathering of grape growers, wine makers, sponsors, supporters, and friends!”
