Exploring a more sustainable Napa Valley ♻️ 🍇 with @carnerosresort 

So excited to share more about this stunning property with you from our road trip with @staybeyondgreen. Seeing how hospitality brands are weaving sustainable practices into every part of their ethos and business this week has been really inspiring. 

A few things that stood out about Carneros:

🥬 The property is blooming with incredible gardens and fresh produce everywhere you go, and if you eat at @farmatcarneros there's a big chance the vegetables on your plate were picked fresh that day (plus they compost all food waste and repurpose used cooking oils as biofuel)! 

💧The resort built its own wastewater treatment plant, allowing them to reclaim the property's water used and then repurpose grey water for landscaping irrigation. 

🐝 Carneros is keeping the ancient art of beekeeping alive with their own on-site program (photo 5). We got an in-depth look at how they support the bees on property and why this is such a crucial piece to the health of crops, not just in Napa Valley but across our planet. 

🔌 The resort also supports electric, with four Tesla charging stations, two all-purpose chargers and the staff's vehicles are all electric as well 🙌🏼

And this is just a few of the many sustainable initiatives they are working on 🥰 #momentsatcarneros
