Unified Wine & Grape Symposium Trade Show

January 25, 2023

Come see us in Booth #1623 @ The Unified Wine & Grape Symposium January 25-26. 

G&D Chillers, known for producing the most reliable glycol chillers used in commercial brewing, wine, dairy, cannabis, food processing and other manufacturing industries for more than 30 years, got its start in the winemaking industry. 

In 1993, G&D Chillers’ founder Dan Smith discovered that his passion for both winemaking and chilling could be combined to create the most reliable glycol chillers for wineries in the world. Today, G&D Chillers is proud to be the chiller of choice for top wine producers such as E&J Gallo Winery, Becker Vineyards, Les Bourgeois, Burgess Cellars, Willamette Valley Vineyards, Haak Vineyards and Winery, Chateau Ste. Michelle, Childress Vineyards and more. 

This week, the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium trade show will be home to over 650 suppliers to the wine and grape industry. With nearly 14,000 industry professionals attending and 750 booths, the Symposium is the largest wine & grape industry conference and trade show of its kind in North America.

Since the American Society for Enology and Viticulture (ASEV) and the California Association of Winegrape Growers (CAWG) joined forces to create the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium in 1995, it has become the largest wine and grape conference in the nation. As one of the industry’s premier gatherings, the Unified Symposium presents a vital platform to focus on the issues shaping today, while interfacing the topics and trends shaping the future of grapegrowing and winemaking.

Like G&D Chillers, The Unified Symposium organizers have a long and distinguished history of providing vintners and growers with the information they need to remain competitive. Come visit us in Booth #1623 at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center, located at 1400 J St. in Sacramento, CA 95814 to learn why we are the chosen chillers of the leading wine producers in the world

But don’t just take our word for it, here’s what some of our top customers in the wine industry have to say about choosing us to provide their hard-working glycol chillers. 

We’re loving our G&D chiller after years of using lesser equipment. We should’ve made the switch years ago and look forward to using it at our new winery as well.

— Nathan Frey, Frey Vineyards

When working with G&D Chillers, we’ve been able to find a range of cooling solutions for our facilities. Whether package units with the ability to allow for planned expansion at the winery or a custom solution to service the distillery and brewery, the team at G&D has stood behind their equipment and helped us grow.

— Mario Mazza, Mazza Wines / Five & 20 Spirits & Brewing

G&D Chillers has been a great partner with A to Z Wineworks over our last 16 years of fast growth. They fully stand behind their work, their reliability and willingness to go the extra yard is top notch. I have no reservations recommending them.

— Cheryl Francis, A to Z Wineworks

My advice is to partner with a chiller manufacturer that is not only interested in making sure you get the correct equipment; but one that is passionate about what they do. The team at G&D Chillers are “chiller nerds,” and that fits in perfectly with us “wine nerds.”

— Rob Warren, Winemaker Coopers Hawk

G&D has been instrumental in the design and implementation of our constantly changing chiller system. Not only are their products top quality, but they are always available to answer any questions we might have, day or night. We would not have been able to build our winery without G&D.

— Jeff Brinkman, RHYS Vineyards

I have purchased units from G&D Chillers for over 25 years. Their units are well designed, reliable and GD’s staff is always available for customer support.

— Russell Hearn, Premium Wine Group
