Napa Valley has been at the forefront of environmental leadership and stewardship since establishing America’s first agricultural preserve in 1968, after area residents declared by vote that agriculture is the highest and best use of land in Napa County. Today, the Agricultural Preserve protects 38,000 acres of valley floor land.
Founded in 2008, the Napa Green Certified Winery program was developed by the NVV in coordination with the Napa County Department of Environmental Management and is modeled after the Association of Bay Area’s Government’s Green Business Program. Napa Green Certified Wineries use a specific set of sustainable and green practices to prevent pollution, and reduce water, waste and energy use and their overall carbon footprint.
