In celebration of Earth Day, we thought it would be fitting to list the wineries in the Napa Valley and Los Carneros that are recognized as leaders in utilizing “Green Activities” in their vineyards and winery facilities. The term “Green” can mean many things but in the case of this blog post we use the term “Green” to include the following activities:<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Organic farming (no use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers)
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Use of solar power
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Use of bio diesel fuels (fuels derived from vegetable oil)
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Water conservation
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Reduction of waste<\/p>\n

The following is a list of Napa wineries that we consider to be exemplary in their attempt to reduce their carbon footprint and preserve the environment for future generations.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Araujo Estate
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Ehlers Estate
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Frogs Leap Winery
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Grgich Hills Cellars
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Honig Vineyards & Winery
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Joseph Phelps
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Long Meadow Ranch
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 MacRostie Winery & Vineyards
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Madonna Estate
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Robert Sinskey Vineyards
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Staglin Family Vineyard<\/p>\n

This list was created from our own experiences visiting wineries in the Napa Valley plus information provided to us by the Wine Institute. This is by no means a comprehensive list. Please comment if you think you are a winery or know of a winery that should be on this list. There is a public out there that wants to know who the “Green” wineries are. <\/p>\n

In the future we will post additional wineries that do their part to sustain the planet.<\/p>\n
