Our commitment to sustainability

Dutton-Goldfield is committed to preserving the environment and being good citizens in our neighborhood. From our vineyards and our winery to our tasting room and offices, we embrace green practices, reducing, reusing, and recycling as much as possible.

Our Sonoma County vineyards, including all of Dutton Ranch’s vineyards, are Certified Sustainable under Sonoma County’s landmark program that includes:

• We are socially responsible in how growers work with their neighbors, employees, and community. One example is that
  Dutton Ranch provides dorm-style housing for their vineyard workers.

• We are environmentally conscientious with farming and winery practices. Dutton Ranch’s vineyards have all passed the
  Fish Friendly Farming Certification Program, which creates and sustains water quality and habitat.

• Remaining diligent and viable as an economically mindful business, so it may be passed down to future generations.

In the packaging of our wines, we continue green practices to reduce our carbon footprint by:

• Using infinitely recyclable glass, and purchasing bottles that are produced in the USA with over 40% post-consumer recycled content

• Utilizing lightweight glass bottles, clocking in at about 595 grams—no heavy bottles here!

We follow through in our tasting room by:

• Recycling our corks back to our cork supplier, where they are ground up and enjoy an afterlife as a new cork product, such as shoe soles.

• Recycling the tin capsules on the neck of the bottles we pour via a local metal recycler.

• Reusing case boxes for carry-out packaging of your wine purchase, giving a second purpose to what would otherwise be a single-use carton.

We thank you for your support and for helping us be green!
