We’re excited & proud to be Napa Green certified!

Whitehall Lane Winery is proud to announce that we are Napa Green certified! 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 (NapaGreen.org).

Here’s what our team has to say about our Napa Green certification.

“At Whitehall Lane, we created a “Green Team” that worked enthusiastically to meet our goal to become a Napa Green Certified Winery. Our team regularly monitors recycling as well as energy and water usage efficiency to ensure that our sustainable practices are maintained. Our team also continues to research new innovative practices to continue to improve our carbon footprint as responsible landowners in Napa Valley.” – Katie Leonardini, VP of Operations

“Whitehall Lane Winery is proud to be a Napa Green Certified Winery. Our vision of becoming a responsibly sustainable company with energy, water, and green practices has a future bearing on our consumers, as well as our long-term presence in Napa Valley. Our consumers would be happy to know we are putting our best foot forward on producing an environmentally-conscientious product. For Napa Valley, it is our duty to preserve and protect for the future generations of our family-owned winery.” – Jason Moulton, Winemaker
