Washington D.C. Meeting 2026

Washington, D.C. Meeting 2026

Join us in Washington, D.C., May 19–21, 2026, for Wine Institute’s 41st Annual Washington, D.C. Meeting — a key opportunity to bring the voice of U.S. wine directly to Capitol Hill and into the policy conversations shaping our industry’s future.

Each year, this meeting gives you a unique chance to engage directly with Members of Congress and other key policymakers on the issues shaping the future of U.S. wine.

Activities will begin on the afternoon of the May 19 and run through mid-day on May 21. The agenda will include meetings and briefings with key members of Congress, administration officials and with Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) senior leadership. The highlight of the week will once again be our wine reception in the Great Hall of the Library of Congress on Wednesday, May 20.
