SF Climate Week — Casey Hogue Session

A Casey Hogue-hosted SF Climate Week session is putting California wine, film, and regenerative agriculture into the same room in San Francisco this week. (sfclimateweek.org) SF Climate Week lists the event as “THE CIRCULAR VINEYARD: An afternoon of wine, film & regenerative solutions,” scheduled for Thursday, April 23, 2026, from 2:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pacific time in Golden Gate Heights. (sfclimateweek.org) The official event calendar says SF Climate Week runs April 18 through April 26, 2026, and describes the program as part of a citywide slate of climate innovation, policy, startup, and community events. (sfclimateweek.org, climatebase.org) Casey Hogue appears on the SF Climate Week team page, and the event listing names Serotonin Creative as a co-host. Hogue’s Luma profile also lists both this session and a separate “Sustainable Food & Wine Expo” during the same week. (explore.sfclimateweek.org, luma.com) The underlying idea is straightforward: agriculture depends on stable weather, healthy soil, and predictable water, and wine grapes are especially sensitive to heat and drought. Hogue’s film project says California’s wine industry supports 420,000 jobs and contributes $170 billion to the national economy while facing climate pressure. (thecircularvineyard.com) The Circular Vineyard project describes itself as a documentary about California winemakers, soil scientists, and land stewards trying to adapt an old industry to hotter, less predictable conditions. Its website says the film follows efforts to “close the loop” on tradition, sustainability, and storytelling. (thecircularvineyard.com) A related SF Climate Week event hosted by Hogue on April 22 framed the same theme in practical terms, bringing together wineries, food brands, waste companies, and advocacy groups around “the full circle of food—from soil to table and back again.” The participant list included the International Wineries for Climate Action, Recology, Frog’s Leap, Jackson Family Wines, and the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance. (luma.com) SF Climate Week’s scale has grown sharply in the past year. Climatebase, one of the organizers, said the 2025 edition drew more than 25,000 attendees across 650-plus events, while the 2026 calendar says this year’s program features 500-plus events and 1,000-plus speakers. (climatebase.org, sfclimateweek.org) For attendees, the Hogue session is one of the week’s more specific examples of how climate policy gets translated into land use, food systems, and consumer products. Registration and event details are posted through the SF Climate Week site. (sfclimateweek.org)
