Evaluation Form

Workbook Self Evaluations

Since the Code of Sustainable Winegrowing Practices workbook was introduced to the wine industry in fall 2002, more than 130 self-assessment workshops have been held throughout 24 counties covering all the major wine growing regions in California. Vintners and growers meet together to review the workbook and use the self-assessment criteria to evaluate their vineyard and winery operations. More than 1,400 vineyards and wineries have participated in the workshops and more than half have submitted their evaluation forms to CSWA.

CSWA, Wine Institute and CAWG have issued the first statewide benchmarking report, "California Wine Community Sustainability Report" in 2004, using the data collected from the workbook evaluation forms. Future reports will detail progress made in sustainable winegrowing, and indicate increased participation by the California wine community. The accuracy of these reports depends on submitted data.

If you are not completing an on-line assessment, please send completed self-assessment forms to:

Or by confidential FAX: (831) 477-7790

The information collected will be held strictly confidential and individual and/or company information will NOT appear in any discussion or publication of the results.
