Sustainability at Helioterra
The Grapes
We pride ourselves in sourcing grapes from the best in the Northwest. When choosing the best, we are also choosing partners that have the same values of sustainability as we do. All of our growers believe in sustainability, and most of them are either LIVE Certified (Low Impact Viticulture and Enology) or practice organic or biodynamic principles.
Our Supplies
We purchase only domestic glass, reducing the carbon footprint on transportation.
Starting with the 2021 vintage, we have ceased using capsules on our bottles. They have become merely decorative and no longer serve a purpose.
We choose cork for our closures because it is a renewable resource and it is recyclable
Recycling
We LOVE recycling!
We recycle all glass and corks that we use in the tasting room
We recycle all film plastic that our pallets of supplies come wrapped in as well as any other plastics used in the winery.
Giving Back
Every year, we donate to causes that help the planet and our community. See our Giving Back page for more information!
