Independent Grape Growers of Paso Robles Area (IGGPRA)

IGGPRA was created in the fall of 2002. Silver Horse Vineyard and Winery hosted the first meeting. The mission and benefits of membership in the Independent Grape Growers of Paso Robles (IGGPRA) are the ready exchange of information through seminars and workshops, the availability of equipment, material and the support of other growers with the ultimate goal of producing the highest quality wine grapes. In March, we had an informative seminar put on by Joe Brody of the Wine Institute. "California Sustainable Wine Grape Growing Program & Self Assessment Workshop." Lowell Zelinsky PHD of Precision Ag and Tim Boatman of Farm Supply presented an interesting seminar on "Irrigating Your Vineyard." Both events were well attended. View the video highlights of these events posted on our website www.iggpra.com. Join us at our next social "Spanish Night" Sat. April 18th 6pm-10pm American Legion Hall 805 Main Street Templeton.
