The Vineyard Team is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote sustainable vineyard practices such as water conservation, protection of water quality, integrated pest management, habitat diversity, and human resources. Established in the mid-1990s when the term “sustainable,” was far less mainstream than it is today, the Vineyard Team has enjoyed an impressive track record, earning awards and recognition from a wide variety of entities including the Environmental Protection Agency and California Department of Pesticide Regulation.
