Since our first vintage in 1973, we have been dedicated to doing what is right for the environment. Our commitment to sustainability encompasses all parts of our organization from the vineyards to the cellar, business operations and people practices, reflecting our company values. Over the past three decades we have become Napa Green certified, Napa Land certified, and in 2018 were the recipients of the California Green Medal Business Award in recognition of our innovation, efficiency, and sustainability based employee practices such as carpooling and employee training.
I am pleased to share that Cakebread Cellars is once again taking its sustainability commitment and actions one step further by becoming a member of International Wineries for Climate Action (IWCA). IWCA is a collaborative working group of environmentally committed wineries focused on a science-based approach to reducing carbon emissions across the wine industry. Each member within IWCA takes responsibility to hold themselves and each other accountable to build a cleaner, more resilient wine community for future generations. The goal of the organization is to share best practices that mitigate climate impacts in vineyard and winery operations so that we can all act collectively to decarbonize the global wine industry today, by applying direct solutions avoiding offsetting carbon credits.
Over the next several months, we will be working collaboratively across departments and with the support of our Green Team to complete our first greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory. This inventory will assist us in calculating and verifying Cakebread Cellars’ emissions and will serve as our annual guide to continued improvement in sustainability and climate change. Tomorrow there will be a press release announcing our membership with IWCA. Please join me in celebrating this membership and our continued commitment to sustainability practices.
Making the commitment to third party certification takes time and effort, but it is worth it to demonstrate our commitment to the community and to protect our watershed, our land and the air we breathe.

Team Green outing today at the stunning @boeschenvineyards as we celebrate big things that we can’t wait to share with you! 🌿
One of the main resistances to phasing out glyphosate is increased labor and equipment costs. However, the costs of herbicides and fertilizers have risen dramatically, so increased labor demands can be offset by reduced supply chain purchases.
In addition, leaders like Grgich Hills Estate have shown that regenerative organic farming can be cost-effective. According to an analysis by Brotemarkle Davis & Co. LLP accounting firm, the average annual per acre cost of vineyard management in the Napa Valley is $14,800, with $3,800 in depreciation. At Grgich, they spend $11,000 per acre, with only $1,300 in depreciation due to the longer life of their vineyards.
Learn from regional leaders about the practical costs, benefits, and ROI of herbicide-free, organic, and regenerative vineyard management.
Confirmed Speakers:
• Ivo Jeramaz, Grgich Hills
• Phil Coturri, Enterprise Vineyard Management & Winery Sixteen 600
• Brad Kurtz, Gloria Ferrer
• Brenae Royal, St. Supery
