The Symposium for Professional Wine Writers 2012

The Symposium for Professional Wine Writers, a non-profit organization founded by Meadowood Napa Valley, the Napa Valley Vintners trade association and The Culinary Institute of America, draws top wine book authors and editors, wine magazine writers and critics, newspaper wine columnists, bloggers and other wine content creators to Napa Valley to speak, listen, debate, explore themes prevalent in contemporary wine writing and network with their peers for four days. A combination of lectures, panel discussions, group and individual writing sessions, wine tasting and fine dining make the symposium an unmatched career enrichment opportunity for editorial wine, wine-food, and wine-travel writers. The symposium is not open to winery personnel and marketing and communications professionals. A portion of the cost of the program is underwritten by the Napa Valley Vintners, a non-profit organization representing more than 300 wineries, and by Meadowood Napa Valley. Meadowood, which is also the annual home to Auction Napa Valley, continues its 30-year tradition of service to the Napa Valley winegrowing community by providing a venue for the conference. The symposium follows an intense plenary program for a limited number of attendees plus speakers
