More About IGGVA

The Illinois Grape Growers and Vintners Association (IGGVA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to developing the viticulture and enology interests of Illinois through information exchange and cooperation among Illinois grape producers and vintners. IGGVA was granted $550,000 in 2005 by Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich to continue its effort to expand development and awareness of the state's wine industry.

We are governed by a board of directors and receive input from the state’s four wine-growing regions by regional chairs.
