Kenwood Vineyards, California's premium wine pioneer, is pleased to announce its official partnership with the National Forest Foundation (NFF) with the winery's first-ever tree planting effort.
For every bottle of Kenwood Vineyards wine sold at participating on-premise accounts across the country or online through the winery's website, one tree will be planted in a national forest. The initiative will run from March 1 - April 30, 2017.
"Kenwood Vineyards has a long history of supporting the preservation of the Jack London Historic Park in our hometown of Sonoma, California," said Jo Adamo, Vice President Marketing, Pernod Ricard USA. "Partnering with the National Forest Foundation is an extension of this support and our commitment to the spirit of discovery, adventure and love for the land."
"The NFF is excited to work with Kenwood Vineyards to support our national forests. Kenwood Vineyards understands the connection between healthy forests and our quality of life, and they understand the love people have for their public lands. This partnership demonstrates both," said Bill Possiel, President, National Forest Foundation.
Kenwood Vineyards is committed to supporting sustainability in our communities, through the partnership with National Forest Foundation, and at home. The winery is making every effort to reduce waste, recycle and lower energy and water consumption. All of Kenwood's vineyards are certified Sonoma County Sustainable, and they are proud to do their part in helping the Sonoma County Winegrape Commission in its mission to make Sonoma County the first viticultural region to have 100% of its vineyards verified as sustainable by 2019.
