2019 International Wine & Health Summit

May 4th thru May 7th, 2019

The Summit

We are very pleased to be bringing the 2019 International Wine & Health Summit to Northern California in May 2019. The program will be held at the Conference Center on the campus of the University of California at Davis, Davis, California, home to the worlds preeminent academic institution for Viticulture and Enology. The UC Davis campus offers the unique advantage to Summit delegates to explore the working laboratories and vineyards of the Robert Mondavi Center for Food & Wine Science, where winemakers, master-brewers, food specialists, and associated scientists of the future, are currently in training.

The Summit represents a partnership of the International Wine & Heart Health Summits sponsored by the Desert Heart Foundation and the Renaud Society, and WineHealth, an international association of research scientists in the field of wine, alcohol and health consequences.

The blending of the international research community along with a broad based clinical physician and healthcare provider attendance, and delegates from the wine industry and advocate groups, makes this program a one-of-a-kind and extraordinary experience for those who share an academic interest and passion for wine, lifestyle, and health.

The Renaud Society, a society of medical professionals and advocates, with an interest in better health and a passion for wine, are proud sponsors of this program, along with the Desert Heart Foundation and the Robert Mondavi Institute for Food & Wine Science at UC Davis.

The faculty for this program blends academicians, research scientists, clinical specialists, iconic industry personalities and thought leaders from across the globe, who are charged with addressing the complicated topics surrounding wine, alcohol, health and longevity.

The program applauds the participation of local wine producers and vineyards who will welcome our Summit delates with a warm meritage of Northern California Wine Country hospitality.

Our most wholehearted invitation is offered for you to attend this program, and we are certain that your understanding of the sciences surrounding the topics presented will be advanced and that your appreciation for wine as a medium, in moderation, for better health, enhanced.

Hospitalty Program

We invite you to participate in the Hospitality Program of the 2019 International Wine & Health Summit.
