Nurturing the earth is a way of life for the Benziger family, their employees and their suppliers. The family’s abiding commitment to the environment is evidenced by integrated practices in their vineyards and winery, including a water recycling program with constructed wetlands, solar powered pumps at the estate vineyard in Bodega, insulated fermentation tanks to conserve energy, solar parking lights, the use of biodiesel in tractors, an aggressive recycling program and continuing educational programs for staff, growers and suppliers. A leader in environmental conservation, Benziger Family Winery holds the Bay Area Green Business and the Sonoma County Green Business certifications, as well as Sunset magazine’s Green Winery Award for 2005.
