Cliff Lede Vineyards’ philosophy is built upon a commitment to enhancing and protecting the valuable land and water with which we grow our wine grapes and enriching the quality of life for our team. In 2015, our winery and vineyards were awarded with a Napa Green certification which focuses on farming and production methods that meet and exceed more than twenty local, state, and federal “best practices.” Cliff Lede wines are an exuberant expression of our Napa Valley vineyards and reflect the natural harmony and balance we encourage through the practices below.
