Discover the Ultimate Sustainable Wine Adventure in California

Join Kassandra and Christy on a weekend road trip through California’s vineyards to taste delicious wines and learn about sustainable winemaking practices. Their first stop is Baileyana Winery in San Luis Obispo, known for its cooler air that produces wines with higher acidity. Next, they visit Wrath Wines in Soledad, where sustainable winemaking involves a holistic approach that considers many aspects, including how to care for the land and packaging choices.

The trip also offers beautiful views of California’s diverse cities and landscapes. At La Crema Winery in Windsor, Kassandra and Christy learn how sheep are utilized to manage the cover crop, which helps reduce CO2 emissions. Finally, they visit Benziger Family Winery in Glen Ellen, where they discover some of the biodynamic farming practices that make this acclaimed winery a true pioneer. The winery consists of 35 acres of grapes planted alongside another 50 acres dedicated to olive oil trees, lavender, and over 50 sheep that help naturally fertilize and maintain the vineyards.
