Commitment to Sustainability
Hagafen Cellars is proud to commit to a sustainable future! We proactively engage in several sustainable activities such as powering the winery by solar power, collecting rainwater for re-use in irrigation and growing all of our own grapes organically, just to name a few. We take this commitment a step further with active certifications from several organizations based around sustainability and environmentally friendly practices. Take a look below to learn more about our sustainability.
Napa Green Certified Winery
Napa Green is a comprehensive sustainability certification program for vineyards and wineries in the Napa Valley. Soil-to-bottle stewardship includes protecting and restoring the Napa River watershed; saving energy and water; reducing waste and carbon footprint; and being conscientious employers and good neighbors. Independent, third-party certification of farms and winemaking facilities makes Napa Green one of the most rigorous sustainability accreditations the wine industry offers.
Certified Organic Vineyards
The grapes we harvest from the Hagafen Estate Vineyard as well as the Wieruszowski Vineyard are certifed organic by the CCOF (California Certified Organic Farmers).
Bee Friendly Farming
Bee Friendly Farming (BFF) is a program that provides guidelines for farmers and growers interested in promoting pollinator health on our lands. These are some of the measures we take:
1. Offer forage providing good nutrition for bees on 3-6% of land.
2. Plant continuous bloom of different flowering plants throughout the growing season, especially in early spring and late autumn in temperate regions.
3. Offer clean water for bees.
4. Provide a variety of habitat for nesting and mating, through features such as hedgerows, natural brush, or bufferstrips.
5. Practice Integrated Pest Management (IPM); reduce or eliminate the use of chemicals.
Fish Friendly Farming
Fish Friendly Farming is a certification program for agricultural properties managed to restore fish and wildlife habitat and improve water quality.
