The Kickstarter Program provides financial support to Importers in the UK and Ireland to host their own tastings and events that focus on their California portfolio, and offers support for them to travel to California.

The Kickstarter Program eases some of the financial burden of:

• Getting wines in front of buyers;
• Hosting winery trade tastings and dinners;
• Working with your California producers in the market and funding the associated costs; and
• Travel to California for you to expand Importer knowledge and find new brands.

To register for The Kickstarter Program you must have at least two Export Member brands. To check if your wineries are Members of the California Wine Export Program or to receive your login details to log your activity and find out next steps.
