The Old Vine Conference 2025, Meeting of the Minds

ZAP and The Old Vine Conference Collaborate to Celebrate Old Vines

In a pioneering partnership, The Old Vine Conference (OVC) has teamed up with ZAP and other notable organizations, including California Wines, Lodi Wines, and the Historic Vineyard Society, to host an extraordinary event series from October 31 to November 4, 2025, in Northern California. The annual conference, entitled Meeting of The Minds, will draw an international media and trade audience together to discuss the most pressing issues facing the world's old vines and will be followed by field trips to multiple California wine regions highlighting California’s old vines and showcasing their unique contribution to wine quality, regional identity and sustainability.
