Come hike to overlook the 360 degree viewsheds of Two Rock, Cotati and Santa Rosa, while listening to cutting edge sustainable vineyard management practices geared towards the preservation of our natural resources. Join us at Cotati Highlands as we trek onto this impressive vineyard property near the City of Cotati. Leading the tour will be two of Gallo’s Vineyard Managers who will discuss topics including:
Sustainability and land conservation
Conservation of water resources through use of Recycled Wastewater from Santa Rosa’s subregional system
Development of environmentally sound vineyard practices
Gallo’s “50/50 Give Back” plan
On land protected through a conservation easement from the Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District, the site offers exquisite rural vistas while serving as a greenbelt buffer between the City of Petaluma and Cotati. Established in 1994, the property became one of the Open Space District’s first easement properties, protecting 317 valuable acres of Sonoma County farmland.
