CALIFORNIA GRAPE ROOTSTOCK COMMISSION (CGRC)

The California Grape Rootstock Commission funds and supports grape rootstock research for the enhancement of California viticulture and the grape nursery industry. We are an invaluable resource to growers, helping protect the investment you make in your vineyards. Our targeted research funding is critically important to the current and future success of the industry.

Over the last 25 years, the Commission has amassed a vast amount of knowledge and information for use in improving grape rootstocks, and developed a network of experts, researchers and plant breeders. We are continually evolving to address industry challenges and grower needs.
