Types of Travel Opportunities

NYWGF’s Export Program trade missions are supported with "generic" USDA funding, with the purpose to promote the New York wine industry in international markets as a whole. Fully-funded travel participants are expected to attend all NYWGF planned activities to speak and educate broadly about New York wines. If partially-funded, or self-funded travel options are provided, flexibility for individual brand sales and personal time will be available.
NYWGF agrees to provide information on travel opportunities, funding level options, and associated expectations with as much advance notice as possible. In the future, there will be an application form with a unique set of requirements for each NYWGF Export Program Travel Opportunity. Submission of a completed application is required to be considered for fully or partially funded travel opportunities.
