Sustainable Viticulture

Education in viticulture and sustainability is the heart of NVG's mission. This is supported by the dozens of educational programs and tools we deliver to Napa County growers each year centered on best farming practices. Through educational outreach, NVG advocates for preservation of ag land, responsible land stewardship, resource conservation, farming for future generations, and more.​

Growing Season

The Napa Valley's grape growing season can be roughly outlined by month, with each period playing a crucial role in the development of wine grapes. 

Pests & Diseases

​NVG provides its members with regular reports on vineyard pests, diseases, and viruses including resources on best practices for choosing plant material and timely updates on viruses and pest management. 

Soil Health

Napa Valley soils are very diverse with distinctive characteristics encompassing 33 soil series and 6 soil orders. ​Building soil health through sustainable soil management practices can build vineyard resilience and longevity. 

Vineyard Development

NVG supports growers in vineyard development and redevelopment, offering insights on site selection, soil preparation, planting techniques, and sustainable practices.

Water

Farming is the largest consumer of water in Napa County. NVG provides resources so growers can irrigate more efficiently and increase our resilience to future droughts and extreme heat.
