Merryvale Vineyards is a family owned Napa Valley winery dedicated to passionate winemaking and the fine art of living well. Merryvale is committed to protecting and preserving the environment through sustainable farming practices. Our Estate Vineyards have received Napa Green Farm Certification utilizing practices such as composting, cover crops, deficit irrigation, and we provide acres and acres of wildlife habitat. Our historic winery was one of the first in Napa Valley to receive Napa Green Winery certification, demonstrating our initiatives such as the use of recycled and recyclable materials, diversion of waste away from the landfill, and our reduction in water usage.

Our new Starmont Winery on the historic Stanly Ranch in Carneros is a state-of-the-art solar powered facility. The winery is designed with advanced insulation, and uses low energy lights and motors. We recycle our winery process water and use it for landscaping and vineyard irrigation. The Starmont Winery features accessibly priced wines that are environmentally friendly!
