Lodi is the ultimate winegrowing region for Zinfandel, California’s own grape. 50+ year old own-rooted vines capture both the history and future of California wine. Through a guided tasting of benchmark old-vine Zinfandels, we’ll examine how authenticity and meticulous farming converge to define Lodi’s enduring connection between land, grower, and glass.
Discover Sonoma County’s extreme cool-climate growing regions — from the coastal edge, where land meets water, to the windy rolling hills of the southernmost tip inland. In these areas, fog and sea breezes shape world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay defined by freshness and finesse. Featuring Cardonnay and Pinot Noir from Sonoma County’s cool regions of Sonoma Coast, West Sonoma Coast and Carneros.

You’ll learn how Napa Green’s six pillars guide leaders across the region in climate action, regenerative farming, water and energy efficiency, waste reduction, supply chain responsibility and social equity. We’ll look closely at the vineyard and winery certifications: how participants are phasing out synthetic herbicides, developing carbon farm plans, enhancing soil health and building standards of stewardship across people and place. Then we’ll taste four wines from Napa Green certified producers, each a tangible expression of sustainability blended with varietal character and regional nuance.
