The Sonoma Valley Chamber of Commerce and City of Sonoma have awarded Donum Estate as the recipient of this year’s Green Business Award. This recognition comes after careful consideration and collaboration with environmental and community leaders, including members of the City of Sonoma’s Climate Action Committee.
Donum Estate has demonstrated a strong commitment to green, sustainable, and regenerative organic practices in all aspects of their operations. From vineyard management to waste reduction, they have implemented 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.
