Oregon Wineries Taking the Carbon Neutral Challenge.
by LIZ LEWIS
Oregon wineries are aiming to go carbon neutral. The Oregon Environmental Council and the Oregon Wine Board have teamed up to develop an initiative to help the wineries reduce and even, hopefully, eliminate their carbon footprints.
Many of Oregon’s wineries are already utilizing sustainable agricultural practices into their operation, but recognizing that climate change is going to end up having a significant impact on their ability to grow grapes and produce quality wines, they are hoping to do more.
So far, thirty wineries have joined the Carbon Neutral Challenge Initiative - Abacela, Amity Vineyard, Anne Amie Vineyards, Archery Summit Wines, Argyle, AtoZ/Rex Hill, Basket Case Wine, Benton-Lane Winery, Bethel Heights Vineyard, Chehalem Winery, Cooper Mountain Vineyards, King Estate Winery, Lange Winery, Lazy River Vineyard, Lemelson Vineyards, Mahonia Vineyards, Patton Valley Vineyard, Ponzi Vineyards, Seven Hills Vineyard, Sokol Blosser Winery, Soter Vineyards, Stoller Vineyards, Torii Mor Winery, Troon Vineyard, Vigna Giovanni Vineyard/Barbara Thomas Wines, Valley View Winery, Vidon Vineyard, Winderlea Wine Company, Willamette Valley Vineyards, and Wooldridge Creek Vineyard and Winery.
