For three decades, Frank Family Vineyards has remained steadfast in our⨠commitment to sustainability and giving back, a legacy long established by Founders Rich and Leslie Frank. Our winery maintains sustainability certifications across 100% of our owned and leased operations, and actively encourages other grape growers we partner with to do the same.
We enhance and preserve biodiverse ecosystems to increase the resiliency and health of our soils and surrounding environment. We employ regenerative practices of compost application, cover cropping, low- and no-till farming, and animal integration β all of which support a vibrant and healthy ecosystem with living soils.Β
