A Napa Valley winery is hosting a handful of Ukrainian winemakers this week in a program meant to help the war-torn country rebuild its agriculture.

Grgich Hills Estate in Rutherford hosted six winemakers from the Southern region of Ukraine to exchange ideas and offer an opportunity to learn how to rebuild their wine industry through a growing technique called regenerative farming.Among them is Svitlana Tsybak, who said the wine industry in her country is overlooked right now, because the country is focusing on other agriculture, like food needs.

Grgich’s Founder and "King of Chardonnay" Miljenko "Mike" Grgich came from Croatia to Napa Valley, where he put the Northern California wine region on the international map. Decades later, Grgich and Kuhn worked together to support Croatia after the war, and rebuild the new nation’s wine business.
