“Auction Napa Valley is the granddaddy of charity wine auctions in America, having given nearly $70 million dollars over is first 26 years for health care, youth service and low-income housing charities.” - NVV press release 6 - 07. “Our family is proud to carry on the legacy of this incredible fundraiser that brings together the best Napa Valley has to offer while doing the good work of providing for our community.” - Kathleen Heitz Myers, President ~ Heitz Wine Cellars Restores Riparian Habitat on Conn Creek
We have embarked on a multi-year project at our Trailside Vineyard to restore the creek banks along its border. The first phase involved removal of invasive non-native plant species, including Blue Gum Eucalpytus, Himalayan Blackberry and Giant Reed. As one of the earliest properties in Napa County to enroll in the Fish Friendly Farming Program, Heitz Wine Cellars was recently presented with an award of Congressional Recognition for excellence in Stream Habitat and Restoration. We intend to ensure that the delightful wildlife community that resides along the creek at Trailside Vineyard will continue to thrive for generations to come. |
Last June, the Napa Valley Vintners (NVV), a non-profit trade association representing nearly 300 Napa Valley wineries, selected the Heitz Wine Cellars Family to host their legendary Auction and Fundraiser in June 2008.
“As part of its participation in the Fish Friendly Farming Environmental Certification Program, Heitz Wine Cellars is improving riparian habitat along Conn Creek, a tributary of the Napa River that runs through one of Heitz’s vineyards near St. Helena.” - St. Helena Star, March 8, 2007
