In 1991 local growers voted to fund the Lodi Winegrape Commission. With its $1,000,000 annual budget the Commission conducts programs in marketing, grower education and viticultural research. The Commission represents 750 winegrowers farming nearly 100,000 acres of winegrapes, and has successfully moved the Lodi region well into the 21st Century.

The Commission serves the common interests of all Lodi Crush District 11 winegrape producers and to enhance the profitability of winegrape production through promotion, research, and education.
