Missouri's Grape and Wine Institute Supports Industry Excellence

Dean Volenberg works with vineyard managers across the state of Missouri as part of the Grape and Wine Institute, whose mission is to "advance the growth and prosperity of the Missouri grape and wine industry through education and research."

The Grape and Wine Institute (GWI) is a collaborative partnership between the Missouri wine and grape industry and the University of Missouri. It works directly with the industry in a variety of ways -- from Dean's vineyard visits to hosting grape growing classes and wine tasting seminars -- to support success from ground to glass.
