Parducci is "Family Farmed," locally owned and operated in California's Mendocino County. They are committed to sustainable winegrowing practices that yield top quality grapes and wines while protecting the environment and supporting our community and local farmers. Their sustainability check list:
- Locally Owned & Operated

Before sustainability how-to books were on the best sellers’ list, three men of singular vision, Tim Thornhill, Tom Thornhill, and past-partner Paul Dolan, were committed to the creation of “America’s Greenest Winery”. They believed that sustainable farming practices result in healthier soil, balanced grapes and higher quality wines. At Parducci Wine Cellars, they understand sustainability is not a temporary trend, but a continuous journey and a constant process. There is always more we can contribute.
The stand their winery has taken is firm, designed to create quality wines and a healthier planet. By making wine from locally farmed grapes, using certified sustainable farming practices, utilizing 100% green power and employing earth-friendly packaging, this family-owned and operated company is creating a model of quality and environmental sustainability for other wineries to follow. In recognition of their status as the nation’s first carbon neutral winery and their continuing dedication to social responsibility and environmentally sound practices, Parducci received California’s highest environmental award, the Governor’s Environmental and Economic Leadership Award in 2007 and 2009.
