Blog - Musings from Etude

This remains our approach today as we continue to build the Etude legacy.

To build community, education, and animal welfare in Sonoma. Etude has a long history of stewardship over the land we farm and the animals who call it home. In the development of our Grace Benoist Ranch vineyard, we incorporated twelve miles of wildlife corridor to preserve riparian habitats and migration pathways. Today, we share our vineyards with wild turkeys, pigs, falcons, owls, and even the occasional bear. To further our mission of stewardship, we're proud to partner with Charlie's Acres, a Sonoma animal sanctuary dedicated to the care of rescued farm animals and building community through compassion.
