Sipping for Saplings at DuCard Vineyards in September

Buy a bottle, plant a tree

Buy Wine, Plant a Tree! Sipping for Saplings is our continuing program at DuCard – consistent with our environmental commitment and leadership. Trees help with global warming, provide shade, absorb water runoff … and look great. Last fall we gave away nearly 2,000 trees through this unique program in partnership with the Friends of the Rappahannock.

Throughout September come visit us at DuCard, have a flight or a bottle on the patio, listen to some music or just commune with the great view … and then when you buy a bottle (or more) to take home with you make sure to grab a tree to plant, too!

Cheers !

Program continues daily for the full month of September
