Donum Estate Wins Green Business Award for Sustainable Practices in Sonoma Valley

Donum Estate, a local winery in Sonoma Valley, has been recognized for its commitment to green and sustainable practices with the Green Business Award from the Sonoma Valley Chamber of Commerce and City of Sonoma. The award was given after careful consideration and collaboration with environmental and community leaders, including members of the City of Sonoma’s Climate Action Committee.

The winery has implemented numerous sustainable practices throughout its operations, including using self-made compost and biochar, diverse cover crop blends, compost tea application, solar panels for energy needs, recycling wastewater for irrigation, practicing deficit irrigation, and partnering with conservation groups for habitat enhancement. One of their standout achievements is the completion of their first estate hedgerow, which promotes biodiversity and resilience in their ecosystem. This innovative approach sets them apart as leaders in sustainable viticulture and environmental stewardship.
