Sustainable Wine Production in California

At the end of 2020 the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance reported 80% of the state's wine production and 32% of the wine grape acreage are certified sustainable. Sustainability in agriculture means you can fulfill current needs while still allowing future generations to meet their needs. This is based on knowledge of the ecosystems. 

Sustainable Agriculture is:

  • Economically Viable: If it is not profitable, it is not sustainable.
  • Socially Supportive: The quality of life of farmers, farm families and farm communities is important.
  • Ecologically Sound. We must preserve the resource base that sustains us all.

California is the fourth largest wine-producing area in the world and leads in sustainable winegrowing.
