” Bonterra vineyards have been farmed organically since 1987, long before organic products were widely available in America. The inspiration for farming this way was simple: organic grapes produce the purest expressions of the varietals and land on which they are farmed. At Bonterra, we have a deep respect for the environment. Organic farming and regenerative practices enrich the biodiversity in our vineyards year after year.”-Bonterra.com

This Earth Day celebrate by sipping the wines from Bonterra Organic Vineyards! The current selection is a wide range of wines from Chardonnay to Sauvignon Blanc, to Rosé, and Pinot Noir along with many other well-known and famed grapes such as Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. These wines range from $14.00-18.00/bottle and can be ordered online from the Bonterra website, which they can arrive in time for Earth Day celebrations, or you can also search for them at your local retailer.

Food pairing wise, think spring wines and salads, to embrace earth day. Try edible flowers in your salads, on your desserts, and even in a wine-tail! It’s a great way to add something grown from the earth to your earth day food and beverages. It’s also an Instagram-able way to celebrate earth day and make your food and wine pairings even prettier!
