Sustainability Story Benovia Winery partners with the Press Democrat Journalism Trust to fund sustainable local journalism through the 2022 Good Press Pinot Noir, highlighting a compelling narrative that can be leveraged to create co-branded campaigns and philanthropy-aligned sales pitches to retailers, restaurants, and distribution partners prioritizing social impact.
Local Production Footprint With production focused in Russian River Valley, Sonoma Coast and Sonoma Mountain and a mid-sized team (11-50 employees), there is opportunity to position Benovia as a premium, locally-sourced Pinot Noir and Chardonnay supplier to boutique fine-dining chains, regional retailers, and tasting room experiences seeking authentic terroir-driven wines.
