Welcome

The Virginia Wine Council (VWC) serves as the Virginia wine industry's representative on legislative and regulatory issues pertaining to winery and vineyard activity, providing value to Virginia's booming wine industry through education and advocacy efforts.

The VWC provides wineries, vineyards, and state and local governments with a resource to assist in developing state legislation, regulatory policies, and local ordinances that draws the appropriate balance between the reasonable business activities of wineries and the appropriate level of regulation to protect the health, safety, and welfare of citizens.

Please browse our website for pertinent legislative information, current and archived newsletters, and numerous resources for winery & vineyard professionals, industry partners and those interested in expanding their knowledge of Virginia's wine industry.






The VWC encourages you to take action as we prepare for the 2013 General Assembly Session. Click here to find a listing of legislators and wineries.
