The climate crisis is no longer imminent. It is here. It is not someone else’s problem. It is ours. Fires, drought, heat spikes will continue to strike our industry. Coming together as sustainable winegrowing leaders is no longer optional, it is imperative.

Napa growers and vintners can play an active role in building social equity, conserving natural resources, reducing and drawing down greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and creating more resilient vineyards, businesses and communities.

Our region and wines capture global attention, meaning our leadership can be an outsized force for change. This is a changemaking convening to enable the Napa County wine industry to leverage its powerful platform and set a standard for sustainability and climate action that galvanizes the global wine industry.

MISSION STATEMENT

To establish the first cross-organizational series of events, paired with sustained support and mentorship, that will not only inspire and educate, but facilitate and accelerate regional critical mass action.

This is a changemaking convening to enable the Napa County wine industry to leverage its powerful leadership platform and set a standard for sustainability and climate action that galvanizes the global wine industry.
