"Rutherford’s Honig Winery practices solar power and sustainable farming (including dogs that sniff out pests so pesticides aren’t needed) and offers an Eco-Tour & Tasting that begins daily at 10 a.m. in the tasting room with a sample of their award-winning sauvignon blanc. Visitors then board a six-passenger golf cart to tour the estate—where guides point out water-management initiatives, wildlife habitats, efforts to restore the Rutherford Reach of the Napa River, and the apiary, one of the most sophisticated winery bee programs in the valley—before returning to the tasting room to try current-release wines." - Matt Villano, Jessie Beck
