Cutting edge DTC education and best practices at the DTC Wine Symposium

The DTC wine symposium has been providing cutting edge education to the industry for 18 years. Created in 2009– and owned by Free the Grapes, the conference is now the world’s largest gathering of DTC wine professionals in the world, and provides primary funding each year to Free the Grapes, a non-profit who advocates on behalf of the industry to alow wineries around the country to legally ship to other states in the U.S.

Brian Baker has been a member of the steering committee, guiding show content from the workshop committee and serving for several years as Keynote Chair. This coming year (Jan 2025) Brian is the Conference Chair and was instrumental in the effort to move the conference to Monterey CA.
