Parducci, America's Greenest Winery
Parducci is "Family Farmed," locally owned and operated in California's Mendocino County. We are committed to sustainable winegrowing practices that yield top quality grapes and wines while protecting the environment and supporting our community and local farmers. Our sustainability check list:
Locally Owned & Operated | Grapes from Local Family Farms | Sustainable Farming Practices | 100% Green Power | Water Conservation & Recycling | Earth-friendly Packaging | 1st US Carbon Neutral Winery
Before sustainability how-to-books were on the best sellers’ list, three men of singular vision, Tim Thornhill, Tom Thornhill, and Paul Dolan, were committed to the creation of “America’s Greenest Winery”. They believe that sustainable farming practices result in healthier soil, balanced grapes and higher quality wines. At Parducci Wine Cellars, we understand sustainability is not a temporary trend, but a continuous journey and a constant process. There is always more we can contribute.
The stand our winery has taken is firm, designed to create quality wines and a healthier planet. By making wine from locally farmed grapes, using certified sustainable farming practices, utilizing 100% green power and employing earth-friendly packaging, our family-owned and operated company is creating a model of quality and environmental sustainability for other wineries to follow. In recognition of our status as the nation’s first carbon neutral winery and our continuing dedication to social responsibility and environmentally sound practices, Parducci received California’s highest environmental award, the Governor’s Environmental and Economic Leadership Award in 2007 and 2009.
