Heidi Kuhn said in a recent interview: "As the snows thaw in Spring 2023 we look forward to working with our demining partners to clear the land of explosive remnants of war and restore the bountiful vineyards with fresh grapes. Together we are literally turning 'blood to wine' as we turn 'mines to vines' in Ukraine."

Violet Grgich is passionate about Croatian values and has been key in Roots of Peace programs worldwide: "We've helped each other raise awareness of the plight of farming communities by donating funds and by hosting events focusing on peace through agriculture," she said.

Roots of Peace plans to visit vineyards in Odessa where mines have ravaged with Heidi and Violet's backing. By reviving these vineyards they hope to promote a message of hope and peace showing that even amid destruction regrowth is possible. As women and mothers they are connected in their mission to raise awareness for social welfare through farming which is better for everyone and for our planet.

The fundraiser for Roots of Peace is an opportunity for people around the world to contribute towards cultivating peace through agriculture while enjoying Grgich Hills Estate wines at The Metropolitan Club of San Francisco on March 23rd 2023.
