Joy Box

Salt of the Earth

April is a big month at Trefethen. Earth Day is celebrated on the 22nd, followed closely by the anniversary of our A.V.A., the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley (O.K.D.), which was formally recognized on April 26th, 2004. These two events remind us of the Trefethen family’s devotion to our vineyards, the source of all of our grapes.

As one of Napa Valley’s pioneering wineries, we have been careful stewards of our vineyard ecosystem. We look at what will help us thrive for another three generations; how we can continue to farm the best quality grapes while sustaining our business and our land, all while enriching the lives of those that work here and those that enjoy our wines around the world.

Indeed, the Trefethens are the salt of the earth, but they are more than the salt; they are shakers–their values inspire us and are sprinkled into all we do. This box is dedicated to the family and their source of joy, their “happy place,” the land. We hope you enjoy this Salt of the Earth Joy Box and invite you to learn more about Trefethen’s rich history and philosophy around sustainability.
