Livermore Valley Chamber of Commerce Hosts Luncheon

LIVERMORE, CA - From the Livermore Chamber of Commerce: Vineyards, Ranches and Orchards – Dynamics of the Agricultural Economy in the Livermore Valley is the theme for the July 27 luncheon program hosted by the Livermore Valley Chamber of Commerce at the Bella Rosa event center at Garre Vineyard.

“We are thrilled to introduce this topic, profiling the important role agriculture serves in the local and regional economy,” said Dawn Argula, LVCC CEO. “The Livermore Valley has a long and distinguished heritage of agricultural production, sustained over time by multiple generations of family-owned operators. Newcomers to the business of agriculture have also made their homes here that include producing some of the finestwines in California.”

Moderated by Alameda County Supervisor Scott Haggerty, the panel of confirmed speakers include Nancy Light of the Wine Institute, a public policy association for the wine industry in California; Darrel Sweet from Sweet Ranches, a 7-generation local cattle ranching family; and Karl Wente of Wente Family Estates, a 5-generation local wine producing and cattle ranching family.

The popular LVCC monthly luncheon May-September series is set at various venues throughout the beautiful Livermore Valley wine region. On August 24, the LVCC #LivValBiz Awards will be hosted at Concannon Vineyards; and on September 21, the State of the State will be hosted at Wente Vineyard.
