Despite COVID-19 Napa Green has been as busy as ever with new winery certifications and re-certifications. The core steps of Napa Green Winery certification and re-certification include completing/updating the certification standards checklist, receiving the “Integrated Resource Audit” (one-stop energy, water and waste assessment), developing the Action Plan for continuing improvement, and completing the third-party verification review. The only significant barrier of COVID-19 has been scheduling the final walkthrough with the independent third-party certifier. So the following wineries have either completed this final step or are in queue for this final review.
Judd’s Hill Winery
Newton Vineyard
CADE Winery
Cakebread Cellars
Viader Vineyards & Winery
Beringer Vineyards
Cuvaison Estate Wines
Alpha Omega Winery
Peju Winery
Markham Vineyards
Frank Family Vineyards
Turnbull Wine Cellars
We have another eight new wineries actively working on certification, and 12 wineries in the process of re-certification. Congratulations and thanks to all of the wineries committing and doubling down on Napa Green Winery resource efficiency, climate action and social equity.

It is no exaggeration to say we couldn’t do what we do without our partners!

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
