SILVER OAK CELLARS • SPOTTSWOODE ESTATE • SCHWEIGER VINEYARDS
This tour will take you through three of the Napa Valley’s sixteen nested American Viticultural Areas (AVAs), each with its own unique soils and microclimates. Please be sure to make advanced reservations.
Start your day in Oakville at Silver Oaks Cellars. You’ll know you’ve arrived when you see their iconic white water tower. Silver Oak is for Cabernet lovers. The winery was founded in a dairy barn, but that’s hard to imagine today, with their recently renovated, elegant winemaking facility. In 2016, Silver Oak became the first commercial production winery in the world to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification in the Existing Building category. Silver Oak recognizes that “the quality of the grapes we grow is only as good as the quality of work put in by those on the ground” and they offer a competitive benefits package to all their full-time vineyard workers; a great example of social sustainability.
Next stop: St. Helena and the historic Spottswoode Estate. Walk along their vineyards – certified organic and Napa Green Land – and tour the property and pre-prohibition stone winery. The team at this family-run, Napa Green Winery prides itself on being good stewards, which you’ll learn about as you try their renowned wines. Natural is beautiful here. In the vineyards they use compost, are re-establishing native grasses and have reduced tilling (saving fuel and retaining soils), saying, “We accept a landscape made imperfect by small, well-managed weeds.”
Afterward, wind your way up Spring Mountain to Schweiger Vineyards. As you walk up to the winery you may be distracted by the breathtaking views. This is a small, family run operation established by Fred Schweiger, who you’ll likely see in the vineyard. Son Andy makes the wines. Consider a visit in the fall and get your ticket to their old-fashioned grape stomp and dance in some of that acclaimed Spring Mountain Cabernet. As a Napa Green Certified Winery, Schweiger Vineyards takes a holistic approach saying, “Sustainability starts in the vineyard and continues into the cellar and into the home and workplace.”
Please note: In order to protect the health and safety of all guests as we continue to be vigilant about the spread of COVID-19 all wineries will be reservation-only for the time being. It is essential to make appointments in advance and also review each winery’s posted policies and procedures before you arrive. Don’t forget your classiest wine tasting masks for entering and exiting the winery.

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
