WHAT IS NAPA GREEN?

The Napa Green nonprofit is a global leader in sustainable winegrowing, setting the highest bar for sustainability and climate action in the wine industry. Napa Green facilitates whole-system soil to bottle certification for vineyards and wineries, and provides the resources and tools to continually improve.

Examples of Napa Green Certified Regenerative Vineyard Standards

  • Improve soil health & organic matter, which stores more carbon in soil
  • Enhance biodiversity with compost, cover crops, and hedgerows, attracting beneficial insects & birds, providing pollinator habitat, and storing carbon
  • Reduced tillage, keeping carbon and moisture in the soil, and reducing emissions from tractor passes
  • Maximize efficiency of irrigation system and use technologies to precisely target timing and amount of irrigation
  • Chip wood waste or use climate-smart alternatives like flame-cap kilns & air curtain burners, which also create biochar, a 500+ year carbon store

Examples of Napa Green Certified Climate-Smart Winery Standards

  • Maximize water & energy efficiency, reducing emissions from energy production and saving $$$
  • Maximize recycling and composting, reducing emissions from trash pickups & landfill, and saving $$
  • “Green” supply chain, including tasting room, cleaning & office products
  • Lighten bottle weight and other packaging, and downsize shipments
  • Have onsite solar and/or opt into MCE Deep Green and receive 100% renewable grid electricity
  • Install EV charging stations and shift to EV company vehicles

Keep in mind that members can be solely Napa Green Vineyard OR Winery certified, or both, which we call “soil to bottle”
