About the Symposium

The Direct to Consumer Wine Symposium is the nation’s premier industry conference dedicated to winery DTC sales and marketing. Content includes keynote speeches from thought leaders from outside of the wine industry. Other leaders from within the industry offer topical insights and practical workshop sessions that deliver actionable ideas. Plus, our tradeshow features the industry’s top suppliers. But perhaps the most valuable benefit is the chance for top-tier networking opportunities within our community.

We are committed to providing the best experience for our attendees, helping them improve their sales and marketing skills and enhance their professional development. The move to Monterey will offer a more elevated experience for our attendees, and the Hyatt Regency provides more space to host more attendees and sponsors alike. We’re thrilled to offer an even more dynamic conference in this new location, reaching new audiences from diverse geographic areas along the way.

We recognize the travel commitment it takes to attend the Direct to Consumer Wine Symposium. Our move to this schedule allows attendees to arrive on Tuesday, January 20, for the opening Wine Keynote, afternoon programming, and great networking opportunities at the hotel and in Monterey. Wednesday, January 21, will provide a full day of content, learning, and networking opportunities. Then, on Thursday, January 22, we’ll wrap things up earlier to make travel planning easier.
