We support growers through science-based resources, education, peer learning, and global collaboration. From practical self-assessment tools and research partnerships to our vineyard directory and grower forum, we help producers adopt regenerative practices that restore the land and strengthen the future of wine.
ABOUT THE REGENERATIVE VITICULTURE FOUNDATION
A Global Community for Regenerative Change

Frequently Asked Questions
How does The Regenerative Viticulture Foundation support wine growing?
What is regenerative viticulture?
Regenerative viticulture is a system of farming grapes that restores and enhances soil health to create a biodiverse, climate-resilient vineyard ecosystem. It goes beyond sustainability by actively rebuilding the natural systems that support vineyard resilience.
What are the benefits of regenerative farming?
Regenerative practices improve soil structure, water retention, and nutrient cycling, making vineyards more resilient to climate extremes. They also enhance biodiversity, reduce reliance on external inputs, and support long-term vineyard health, often leading to improved grape quality and ecosystem stability.
Is regenerative viticulture only for organic vineyards?
No. Regenerative viticulture can be adopted by vineyards at any stage, whether conventional, organic, or biodynamic. It’s not about fitting into a label, it’s about improving soil health and ecosystem function in practical, measurable ways, starting from where you are today.
How can I get involved as a winegrower?
You can add your vineyard to the Regenerative Vineyard Network and explore the practices you’re already using or want to adopt. You can also sign up for our monthly newsletter and connect with peers in our Community Forum, access tools and research, and take part in events and pilot programs.
