Thank you again to all of our incredible members, partners, and collaborators! We deeply appreciate your commitment and hard work throughout the past year. Your dedication to sustainability and climate action makes a meaningful, tangible difference every day.
By working together, we are achieving significant progress toward our goals for a truly sustainable wine industry and a resilient, thriving community here in the Napa Valley. Your ongoing support is the bedrock of our success, and we look forward to achieving even more with you in the year ahead.
Our strategy for the coming year is built upon three foundational pillars:
Doubling down on direct, boots-on-the-ground support and expertise: hands-on support for both winery and vineyard certification and implementation of practices that help your business and the environment
Providing practical resources and education: technical workshops, best practice toolkits, and our digital resource library
Fostering a strong, connected community: networking events, membership and knowledge exchanges, and celebrating member achievements with the broader public
While we have had some recent organizational changes, the commitment of our team and board remains strong; we are here to support our members and the community. We deeply appreciate your continued support and participation in the Napa Green community. Your involvement enables us to set the highest bar for sustainability and climate action in the wine industry.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, ideas, or concerns.
