ABOUT HONIG VINEYARDS & WINERY
As a family-owned and operated winery, Honig Vineyard & Winery is committed to preserving and improving its environment and minimizing its impact through the use of vineyard and winery practices known as Sustainable Winegrowing. These practices conserve water and energy, maintain healthy soil, protect air and water quality, enhance relations with employees and communities, preserve local ecosystems and wildlife habitat and improve the economic vitality of vineyards and wineries.
The Honig family purchased in Rutherford, the heart of Napa Valley in 1964 and made its first vintage of Sauvignon Blanc in 1980. Since that time, they have worked to build a socially responsible business that will thrive for generations. Its talented, all-female winemaking team focus production on Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc, two varietals that grow perfectly in Rutherford. The Honig family are leaders in sustainability, both in the vineyard and the winery, and what began as a small “garage” winery has today become a successful family enterprise, with everyone working collaboratively to run an inspiring and socially responsible business.
