SUSTAINABILITY

Wilson Artisan Wine and its fellow sister properties has practiced sustainable farming techniques and has been a leader for years. It has been Ken & Diane Wilson’s goal to achieve sustainability for the resulting quality wines along with a commitment to the environment for the benefit of future generations. Our sustainable practices are realized in many forms, but primarily through water conservation, recycling, use of organic growing practices including encouraging pest control through attracting raptors in our vineyards.
