Why We Love Visiting: A visit to Domaine Carneros feels like a mini French escape right in the heart of Napa, surrounded by vines and the rolling hills of the Carneros AVA. Domaine Carneros is an absolute gem in Napa Valley’s sparkling wine scene, but also offers delicious Pinot Noirs for those that want to explore the red wines of the region. Whether you’re seeking selfies or sophistication (or both!), it’s the perfect spot to sit back and indulge in leisurely tours or tastings while soaking in the picturesque surroundings.
Why They Are Sustainability Leaders: Domaine Carneros doesn’t separate its focus on luxury from the importance of sustainability. They’re recognized as one of the first wineries in California to receive the “Napa Green Certified Winery” designation. Beyond eco-friendly farming, they have made great strides in renewable energy by harnessing solar power, maintaining wildlife habitat zones, and using sustainable packaging. Their commitment to sustainability extends to their employees and community through various diversity and inclusion initiatives.
Why We Love Visiting: RD Winery is a hidden gem perfect for those looking for an off-the-beaten-path wine experience on your way into or out of town from the Bay Area. RD boasts an exciting range of wines that reflect the rich, varied history of Napa but with a twist that makes each bottle stand out. With a commitment to making everyone feel welcome, visitors can enjoy food and wine pairings that showcase global flavors and embrace the possibilities that come from challenging tradition.
Why They Are Sustainability Leaders: RD Winery champions sustainability and diversity in its philosophy and operations. As one of Napa’s first Vietnamese-owned wineries, they understand the importance of inclusion in shaping the future of the wine industry. They emphasize sustainable vineyard practices, aiming for minimal environmental impact while also working to elevate the voices of underrepresented communities within wine. Their mission is to lead by example, proving that diversity and sustainability can coexist beautifully in a bottle of wine.
Why We Love Visiting: Trefethen Family Vineyards offers a quintessential Napa experience with deep roots in the region’s winemaking history. The family-owned, multi-generational estate feels authentic, and their warmth and hospitality create an inviting atmosphere for guests. With a focus on estate-grown wines, visitors are treated to a truly farm-to-table tasting experience that highlights the purity of the terroir. It’s perfect for those who appreciate a personal connection to the wine they are drinking and innovative foods to enjoy them with..
Why They Are Sustainability Leaders: Trefethen’s dedication to sustainability is woven into every aspect of their operation. As one of Napa Valley’s leading green wineries, they practice organic farming, water conservation, and have invested heavily in energy efficiency, all while maintaining a diverse and inclusive team. They were among the first in Napa to adopt integrated pest management systems and have made sustainability a core value in their winemaking. Their long-term commitment to both land stewardship and community engagement reflects a forward-thinking approach to wine that prioritizes people and planet as much as the final product.
