Skip will break down what counts, common winery examples, and how to identify opportunities to potentially reduce tax liability.

    Join Family Winemakers of California in Sacramento for a high-impact Legislative Lobbying Day focused on protecting and advancing the interests of California’s wine industry. This exclusive advocacy event gives members the opportunity to meet directly with key legislators and staff to discuss critical issues impacting our businesses, our employees, and the future of California wine.

    Participants will receive a policy briefing and talking points before heading to scheduled meetings at the State Capitol. This year’s lobbying focus will include two priority bills Family Winemakers is proudly co-sponsoring: AB 1585 and SB 917. These measures are essential to ensuring fair, practical, and transparent policies for California wineries and wine consumers.

    Your voice matters. There is no substitute for face-to-face advocacy. Whether you’ve lobbied before or this is your first time, our partners at Political Solutions will provide guidance and support throughout the day to ensure you feel prepared and confident.

    Come represent your winery, strengthen our industry’s presence in Sacramento, and help shape the policies that impact us all.
