Producer Information

Since our founding in 1934, shortly after the repeal of Prohibition, Wine Institute has helped guide the California wine industry through 85 years of growth and prosperity. Our membership has increased from 42 wineries to over 1,000 today, and we have watched California wine become America’s favorite and win fans around the world. The California wine industry literally put down its roots in 1769, when Padre Junipero Serra began his chain of missions in San Diego by planting grape seeds and vines. Eventually it stretched to Sonoma, more than 600 miles to the north. The California wine industry owes its success to many fathers. One was a key vigneron, Jean-Louis Vignes, who established vineyards near what is now Los Angeles in 1834 and began the commercial wine industry. By 1919, California had become America’s leading winegrowing state, with over 1,000 wineries in operation, but the following year, the 18th Amendment was enacted, bringing Prohibition. Uncertainty reigned in the vineyards of California, until Repeal on Dec. 5, 1933 with the enactment of the 21st Amendment. The California wine industry began the task of rebuilding.
