Mendocino Wine Co. is America’s Greenest Winery featuring the wines of Parducci Wine Cellars, the nation’s first carbon neutral winery and Paul Dolan Vineyards, certified organic and biodynamic wines.
We became a B Corp because it's natural extension of the winery’s commitment to use the power of business to solve social and environmental problems as well provides clear information to help consumers make informed decisions.
Founded in 2004, Mendocino Wine Co. (MWC) is a partnership of the Dolan and Thornhill families. The owners and employees are dedicated to socially responsible and environmentally sound agricultural and business practices with the utmost respect for family farms, the environment and the community.
The Change We Seek™
They believe that it’s time for business to lead the transformation to sustainable practices. They believe that we need to reconnect to what’s important and become a force for change. Moreover, that doesn’t necessarily mean sacrificing quality or profitability. The partners and their employees are immersed in responsible land stewardship, sustainable viticulture and business practices that yield superior grapes while preserving the environment and supporting local farmers.
Mendocino Wine Co. is creating a model of quality and environmental sustainability. They believe that sustainability is a journey, not a destination and one of the main things you must do to be sustainable is spread the word.
