Company joins Grape Day 2026 as an industry exhibitor and hosts the inaugural Women Winemakers Luncheon, bringing together women across the Southern California wine industry.
Encore Glass capped a landmark week in Temecula Valley wine country, participating in two standout industry events that underscored the company’s commitment to the region’s winemaking community. From a gathering of women leaders to one of the Temecula Valley’s cornerstone industry events, Encore Glass was proud to be present, connected, and engaged.
On Wednesday, April 29, Encore Glass hosted its Women Winemakers Luncheon at Domenico’s Italian Chophouse at Truffle Pig Winery. The intimate afternoon brought together an accomplished and diverse group of women from across the Southern California wine industry, spanning roles from winemakers and winery owners to cork suppliers and other trade partners. The luncheon was designed as a space to share ideas, build relationships, and celebrate the growing presence of women shaping the region’s wine culture.
“We wanted to create a table where every part of this industry felt seen. From the vineyard to the bottle, women are doing extraordinary work across Southern California, and this luncheon was our way of honoring that.” — LC Giacobazzi, Director of Sales
The following day, on Thursday, April 30, Encore Glass exhibited at Grape Day 2026, a cornerstone event for the Temecula Valley winemaking community, hosted by the Temecula Valley Winegrowers Association at South Coast Winery Resort and Spa. Grape Day draws winemakers, vineyard owners, and industry professionals for a day of seminars, networking, and access to over 30 industry vendors.
The event runs from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and highlights the latest advances in enology and viticulture.
As an exhibitor, Encore Glass had the opportunity to connect with the region’s winemaking community, showcase its portfolio of premium wine bottles, including lightweight designs that support winery sustainability goals, and reinforce its role as a trusted glass packaging partner to wineries throughout Southern California and beyond.
Together, these two events reflect Encore Glass’s deepening investment in the Southern California wine community and its promise to be more than a supplier: a partner committed to the right wine bottle, from design to delivery.
