Whether you advise, own or operate a Winery, Brewery or Distillery, or even if you’ve considered entering the exciting and rapidly expanding world of the Alcohol Industry, this program is a must! Wineries, Breweries and Distilleries in California and the Pacific Coast are booming industries, undergoing constant change and growth. Urban Breweries, the hot industry in the 1980s and ‘90s, are being augmented with Urban Wineries and Distilleries. Large wineries, once rare, are exploding in California, Oregon and Washington.

Novices, seasoned owners/operators, key advisers and investors alike will gain invaluable insight through this extensive program. Three of our lawyers will present on issues ranging from understanding brand value, navigating state and federal law or the value of M&A as a finance tool.
