The NYWGF Export Program assists New York wineries seeking to explore international marketing opportunities. Promotional efforts are funded by the USDA's Market Access Program (MAP) grant. The Export Program for 2024 will start on July 1st and all New York State wineries are invited to participate.
Current MAP funded activities focus on four (4) Target Markets:
- Asia-Pacific (Japan)
- Asia-Pacific (South Korea/Vietnam)
- Canada
- Western Europe
The cost for the first market is $150 and additional markets are $75 each.
Pending the outcome of an additional USDA RAPP grant award in June, NYWGF may be adding the following (4) target markets:
- Caribbean (Barbados, Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Bermuda, Aruba)
- South Korea*
- United Kingdom
- Vietnam*
*The Asia Pacific market would evolve into two distinct target markets if RAPP funding is awarded: South Korea and Vietnam.
Should these markets become available, they will be $75 each.
