After careful consideration and collaboration with environmental and community leaders, including members of the City of Sonoma’s Climate Action Committee, the Sonoma Valley Chamber of Commerce has announced Donum Estate as this year’s Green Business Award recipient.
Donum Estate stands out for their strong commitment to green, sustainable, and regenerative organic practices in all aspects of their operations. From vineyard management to waste reduction, they have implemented innovative practices such as using self-made compost and biochar, diverse cover crop blends, compost tea application, and solar panels for energy needs. They also recycle wastewater for irrigation, practice deficit irrigation, and partner with conservation groups for habitat enhancement.
One of Donum Estate’s 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.
