The Solution

Grapevine Futures, develops regenerative solutions that reimagine how underutilized materials can be recognized, designed, and sustained within existing systems. Working at the intersection of material innovation, sustainability, and systems design, the initiative explores how byproducts traditionally treated as waste can be transformed into viable, long-term resources through thoughtful redesign and collaboration.

Circular Economy Approach

At the heart of our solution is a simple but powerful principle: the vineyard should be able to give rise to more than one product.

By redirecting underused organic material into new applications, we support:

Reduced waste across vineyards and wineries
Lower environmental footprint through better use of existing resources
New revenue streams for growers and producers
Strengthened climate resilience in wine regions
Alignment with global circularity goals

This model supports a future where the wine industry leads not only in quality and craftsmanship, but also in environmental innovation.

Our development approach is grounded in scientific exploration and partnership. We work alongside:

Growers and vineyard managers
Winemakers and production teams
Sustainability leaders in Napa and beyond
University researchers and material scientists

Together, we aim to validate new pathways for transforming winemaking by-products into high-value, eco-friendly materials. This collaborative approach ensures the work is rooted in real industry needs, agricultural realities, and long-term sustainability goals.
