The climate crisis is here — and it's hitting the planet’s wine regions hard.

From the vineyards of British Columbia's Okanagan Valley to the famed estates of California, Australia, and the Mediterranean, the $500-billion wine industry is in crisis: record-breaking heat and cold, devastating wildfires, severe drought, and air that taints grapes and makes them unusable all jeopardize the future of wine growing regions, along with the communities and economic spinoffs that top $1-trillion.

It’s time to act.

CityAge is launchingSaving Wine Country, an international campaign to combat this emergency head-on. We're building a coalition of leaders to enact real change — through cutting-edge technology, innovative ideas, and strategic investments, we aim to preserve, protect, and future-proof our vineyards and the communities that surround them. In 2024, this campaign will feature in person and digital roundtables, a major summit, and be bolstered by surveys, reports, and earned media coverage to bring forth solutions.

To start, CityAge is zeroing in on the U.S. West Coast and Canada’s Okanagan Valley. We’ll be looking at immediately available technologies, ideas, innovations and investments that can save and sustain the vineyards, other agricultural lands, and the communities around them.

We often think of low-lying coastal cities as the front line of climate change.

The reality is the planet’s vulnerable wine regions are under siege — the canary in the wine.

Please join us and support Saving Wine Country. It starts now.
