Cheers To These Certified Sustainable Wineries

One area where many green living advocates find themselves falling short is with their wine consumption choices. While conventional grocery stores are carrying more and more organic, non-GMO, sustainable food brands, easy access to the same caliber of wines is lacking.
Napa Green is seeking to improve the sustainability of wine production in the Napa Valley area of California through its comprehensive environmental certification program for vineyards and wineries. Napa Green’s programs are the most comprehensive and stringent in the wine industry.
This voluntary third-party, independently certified program focuses on environmentally sound farming and production methods that exceed more than 20 local, state and federal “best practices.” As a result, wine coming from the Napa Valley region is noted as the most highly regulated in the world.
For its certification program, Napa Green uses a set of sustainable and green business practices developed specifically for wineries to protect and enhance the ecological quality of Napa Valley while reducing energy, chemical use, waste, water and overall carbon footprint.
Napa Green provides each winery with an individually-tailored, sustainable farm plan to help them meet these goals. To develop the plans, participants receive comprehensive energy, waste and water assessments for their facilities, ensuring all of their operations are optimized for total efficiency.
The program has gained quite a lot of traction.
The Napa Green programs are open to all Napa County vintners and grape growers. This year, the Napa Valley Vintners trade association announced its goal of having all of its eligible members enroll in the Napa Green program by the end of 2020.
If you’re like to support Napa Green Certified Wineries, visit the organization’s website to see the full list of certified wineries.
What are your favorite wines from the list of Napa Green Certified Wineries?

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.​

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
• Rebekah Wineburg, Quintessa
