Frank Family Vineyards has announced the installation of more than 800 solar panels on its property, enabling Frank Family to generate at least 75% of the winery’s electricity needs, including powering the winery, tasting room, and new hospitality space, The Miller House. Through a combination of on-site solar and purchased renewable energy, Frank Family Vineyards is powered by 100% renewable electricity.

Frank Family Vineyards, a part of the Treasury Wine Estates (TWE) family of brands, contributes to TWE’s global commitment to sustainability, with the company setting ambitious goals for 100% renewable electricity by the end of 2024 and net-zero carbon emissions by 2030. Frank Family took the initial step toward these goals in 2022 when it became the first of TWE’s Napa wineries to enroll in Marin Clean Energy’s (MCE) Deep Green Program, allowing the winery to source 100% renewable energy from local wind and solar power.

“Sustainability is a key part of our winemaking philosophy at Frank Family Vineyards, and we’re thrilled to start generating our own energy,” says Senior Winemaker and General Manager Todd Graff. “We’re always seeking new ways to minimize our carbon footprint and carefully consider the impact every winemaking and business practice has on the land we care for and the community around us. This investment is another milestone in our sustainability efforts, and we are proud to say 2024 will be our first vintage powejeredred by the sun! ”

Frank Family’s solar array installation is the latest in the winery’s “Green to our Roots” philosophy. For Frank Family, being green involves earth-to-bottle stewardship, including protecting and restoring the Napa River watershed, saving energy and water, reducing waste and carbon footprint, and being conscientious employers and good neighbors. The winery maintains sustainability certifications across 100% of its owned and leased vineyards.

This year, as part of Frank Family’s annual giving campaign “Frank for a Cause”, the winery has partnered with 4ocean to support its mission to combat the ocean plastic crisis. Through July 2025, every purchase of Frank Family wine will pull one pound of plastic and trash from the world’s oceans, rivers and coastlines.
