Choose Clean, Choose Canadian
We believe Canadian grape growers and wineries need to have access to domestic sources of certified, clean, quality grapevine material.
CGCN is a collaboration between the Grape Growers of Ontario, the British Columbia Wine Grape Council, Conseil des vins du Québec, and the Grape Growers Association of Nova Scotia.
Since our incorporation in 2017, our mandate has been to support research and educational initiatives that promote a clean plant network for domestically certified, virus-tested and pathogen-free grapevines in Canada.
Our Certification Programs
Grapevine viruses are commonly spread from an infected vine through planting material.
CGCN’s certification programs are designed to provide Canadian nurseries with a domestic certified clean source of high-quality, sustainable grapevine material to proudly sell to growers.
