The wine industries in California and Mexico are at the forefront of domestic viticulture, yet they face mounting challenges as the climate crisis continues to rapidly reshape our North American landscape. This panel will assess the current state of wine production in both regions, exploring how shifting climate conditions are affecting wine quality, vineyard viability, and the long-term sustainability of these industries. Most importantly, the discussion will focus on our capacity to adapt, the losses we have already experienced, and how the industry can shape the parts of the future still within our control.
This panel will engage winemakers, viticulturists, and industry experts in a critical conversation about adaptation, responsibility, and the future of domestic wine production in an era of accelerating climate change.
