Our Green Business Stewardship Program

We have found that sustainability is best built through small, thoughtful improvements that add up over time.

Through our participation in the Green Business Grants program, we’ve been able to invest in meaningful upgrades across our winery—changes that reduce our environmental impact while improving how we operate day-to-day. We are incredibly grateful to BRING Recycling and our program coordinator, Beth, who first reached out to connect us with this opportunity and supported us every step of the way. Beth’s guidance made the process approachable and helped us turn ideas into real, lasting improvements.

One of the biggest shifts has been in how we approach sanitation. We transitioned to a non-chemical cleaning system using reusable bottles, reducing both chemical use and single-use waste. It’s a safer, more sustainable solution for our team and our environment, and it sanitizes just as effectively as a chemical sanitizer.

We’ve also made significant improvements to how we use energy throughout the winery. By upgrading our facility to energy-efficient LED lighting, we’ve reduced the energy used for lighting by an estimated 60–75%. Because lighting typically accounts for a meaningful portion of a winery’s overall energy use, that translates into a noticeable reduction in our total energy footprint.

Beyond lighting, we’ve worked to weatherproof and insulate key areas of the winery, helping regulate temperature more efficiently year-round. These improvements reduce the need for excess heating and cooling—another important step in lowering overall energy consumption.

While many of these changes happen behind the scenes, they play a big role in how we care for our space. From the cellar to the tasting room, we’re always looking for ways to operate more efficiently and thoughtfully.

For us, sustainability isn’t about one big change. It’s about a series of intentional decisions—small improvements that, over time, make a meaningful difference for our land, our team, and the wines we share with you.
