REGENERATION, INNOVATION, SUSTAINABILITY, EMPOWERMENT
RISE is an exceptional changemaking convening. We are empowering the wine industry with the experts, resources, mentorship, and support to set a standard for sustainability and climate action that builds resilience regionally, and galvanizes the wine community globally. If not here, where? If not now, when?

The wine industry is a bright spot of climate leadership. Winegrowers are showing how to work with instead of against nature to produce great wines.

Wow, we really did it y’all! As we rest & recover from that monumental undertaking, we reflect for a moment on the incredible community of the brightest & most compassionate minds that came together to make this happen at such a pivotal time.
From the bottom of our hearts at Team Green we cannot thank you enough, nor adequately put into words how much it all means.
Keep working, keep speaking up and keep fighting for what is right. We stand tall next to you. #rise

On our final day of RISE 2025 we were fortunate to have an impactful conversation with @drreneelertzman & @finn.does concerning the mental & emotion cycles of the environmental work we all do. The how and why of what motivates our work is as important as the work itself.
If you missed this beautiful conversation please know that we have professionally recorded all sessions at RISE and will announce how to view them.
We offer a sincere and deeply felt thank you to both of these amazing speakers for joining us today.
In our current climate, RISE has meant more than ever. As we head into our final day today of Climate Action & Regenerative Farming, we want to take a moment to thank our visionary founders, @abrittain & @reyeswine.mw.
Thank you for the countless hours you’ve put in, the bravery to raise your voices, the vision to use your platforms meaningfully and for the beautiful community we’ve built together. Here’s to you! 🥂
We’ll see you all today at RISE Climate & Wine Symposium.
