Regenerative practices from soil to bottle.

what is napa green?

Napa Green is a nonprofit organization advancing climate-smart, regenerative agriculture and sustainable wine production through its work with vineyards and wineries in Napa Valley. We define rigorous, science-based standards grounded in more than 250 best practices, certify vineyards and wineries, and work side by side with growers and vintners to translate those standards into daily action from soil to bottle.

Our approach pairs rigorous standards with hands on support to improve soil health, conserve water, reduce emissions, restore biodiversity, and build equitable, resilient businesses and communities.

By grounding this work in Napa Valley, we aim to demonstrate what is possible: that environmental stewardship, economic vitality, social equity and exceptional wine are not competing goals, but expressions of the same system, and that agriculture and wine production, when done well, can lead far beyond its boundaries.

testimonials

"I've been at this for 30 years and this is the best, most well-thought-out program I've ever seen."
Yvon Chouinard, Environmentalist and Founder of Patagonia
"Let's celebrate the most important mother of all—Mother Nature. And what better way than with wine, so ineluctably connected to the earth? I think of wine as the silent music of Nature. By drinking it, our bond with Nature is welded deep."
Karen MacNeil, Author of The Wine Bible
"Napa Green is about producing wine responsibly and being proud of our respect for the environment and for future generations."
Elizabeth Vianna, Winemaker at Chimney Rock Winery
