Domaine Carneros Debuts the Sparkling Elixir Sampler

Winery Introduces Inclusive Daily Flight Featuring Sonoma's Land & Local Botanical Elixirs Available as a Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Water Option or with Ultra Brut

NAPA, Calif., July 7, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Domaine Carneros has long delighted guests with inventive food and wine experiences that reflect the winery’s commitment to culinary craft and local ingredient sourcing. The newest addition to that tradition is the Sparkling Elixir Sampler, a daily tasting flight that pairs four all-natural, handcrafted botanical elixirs from Land & Local of Sonoma County for either a non-alcoholic option with San Pellegrino sparkling water, or with the acclaimed Ultra Brut sparkling wine. This new offering makes for a fully inclusive experience for every guest at the table.

Served tableside, the flight is priced at $35 with San Pellegrino or $50 with the Ultra Brut. The four elixirs, each crafted from locally sourced seasonal botanicals, are:

Blood Orange Fennel

Rose Cardamom Meyer Lemon

Hibiscus Tulsi Ginger

Elderflower Mint

The Sparkling Elixir Sampler is available as a standalone daily tasting option and can also be selected as a non-alcoholic alternative within any of the winery’s elevated experiences: Bubbles & Bites, Plat des Perles, Ultimate Carneros, and Ultimate Caviar.

A DEEPENING TRADITION OF ARTISAN COLLABORATION

The partnership with Land & Local joins a roster of celebrated local makers whose work has shaped the Domaine Carneros guest experiences over the years, among them Pete Seghesio of Journeyman Meats, Terri and Brook Penquette of Nova Terra Creamery, Anette Madsen Yazidi of Anette’s Chocolates, and Ali and Marai Bolourchi of Tsar Nicoulai Caviar.

Land & Local founder Kim LaVere brings eight years of botanical craft to the collaboration, grounding her formulas in Ayurvedic medicine, Western herbalism, and culinary training. About 85% of the herbs and fruits she uses are sourced within 50 miles of her Sonoma County production kitchen. Her mission is to reconnect beverages to their healing roots while centering the story of place. “Our partnership is about two high-quality products that complement each other and help tell a story of place together, from different perspectives,” she says. “And our products are inclusive: they work beautifully for people who are imbibing and for people who aren’t.”

WELCOMING EVERY GUEST AT THE TABLE

The non-alcoholic option reflects both the winery’s hospitality values and a meaningful consumer shift. According to a Wine Business Monthly article in July 2024, wellness tourism which includes “dry” tourism as well as alcohol drinkers who opt out occasionally, has seen a measurable increase, with nonalcoholic offerings expanding a brand’s reach and ensuring no one sits on the sidelines.

The Ultra Brut, a highly awarded offering in the Domaine Carneros portfolio, was chosen with thoughtful consideration as the sparkling wine part of the experience. Director of Marketing, Phoebe Ullberg stated, “Our driest sparkling wine, Ultra Brut, becomes even more nuanced and complex when accented with chef Kim LaVere’s local, all natural mixers – Blood Orange Fennel, Rose Cardamom Meyer Lemon, Hibiscus Tulsi Ginger and Elderflower Mint.”

AN EVER-EVOLVING GUEST EXPERIENCE

The Sparkling Elixir Sampler takes its place alongside a portfolio of distinctive offerings that reflect the winery’s sustained investment in the gustatory pleasures of its guests. Bubbles & Bites’ seasonally rotating global menus, the recently launched Scent & Savor: A Wine Tour of Aromas and Taste Transformations, The Art of Sabrage, Plat des Perles, Ultimate Carneros, and Ultimate Caviar together define a visitor experience as thoughtfully curated as the wines themselves.

Domaine Carneros Remembers Founding Winemaker and CEO Eileen Crane

NAPA, Calif., June 17, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Domaine Carneros shares with great sadness the passing of Eileen Crane, our founding winemaker, longtime CEO, and the woman who made Domaine Carneros what it is today. Anyone who spent time with Eileen quickly understood that her gifts went well beyond the cellar. She had sharp wit and quiet conviction. She was elegant and tough in the same breath, a born optimist with endless creativity and a natural instinct for mentorship. She poured everything she had into her work, and into the people around her.

At eight years old, sitting at her family’s Sunday dinner table, she took her first sip of champagne and thought simply, “This is for me.” She never looked back. She earned a master’s degree in nutrition, trained at the Culinary Institute of America, and eventually made her way west to study enology and viticulture at UC Davis, where she was told outright by a male professor that a woman could never be a winemaker. She didn’t listen, and she kept going.

Her career reshaped American sparkling wine. After rising from tour guide to assistant winemaker at Domaine Chandon, she went on to build two prominent European sparkling wine houses in California, from the ground up, first at Gloria Ferrer, and then at Domaine Carneros, where the Taittinger and Kopf families entrusted her with launching their California sparkling wine house in 1987. Over 33 years as CEO, she led the winery with care and conviction.

From the start, the goal was Le Rêve, French for “the dream,” a Blanc de Blancs that she would later call her greatest triumph. She spent years developing the recipe, blending Chardonnay from the very best fruit of the vintage, finally landing on the blend with the 1992 vintage. To celebrate, Taittinger commissioned the ram’s head embossed bottle that has held the wine ever since. As Eileen described it, Le Rêve was meant to be “refined, understated elegance, nothing extraneous, everything brought together with a sense of effortless beauty. Think Audrey Hepburn in the little black dress.”

Eileen was a true steward of the land. She believed that caring for the earth was not separate from making great wine, it was the foundation of it. From the very beginning of her tenure in 1987, she championed sustainability in every corner of the winery, from the vineyards to the cellar to the way the operation was powered, long before such commitments were commonplace in the industry. She practiced natural pest management, composting, and water reuse. She was among the first winery leaders in California to embrace solar power, and when the array atop the pinot noir facility was installed in 2003, it was the largest on any winery in the world at the time. Years later, she led the build-out of a solar microgrid, the next step in renewable energy and resiliency, enabling the winery to keep running even when the power went out. Under her leadership, Domaine Carneros earned both the 2019 California Green Medal Business Award, one of only four wineries recognized annually, and certified sustainable status for the winery and vineyards. Her commitment to leaving the land better than she found it is one of the most enduring parts of her legacy.

Eileen’s vision for hospitality was as pioneering as her winemaking. Every visit was designed to be educational and immersive, guided by people who could tell the full story of the estate and the wines in the glass. She was among the first in California to build a wine club, creating a community of members who didn’t just buy the wine but belonged to the place. And she understood that great hospitality required great spaces. She opened the original château in 1987, one of the most recognizable wine country landmarks in California. In 2003, she added the pinot noir production facility and a dedicated wine club room, giving members a home at the estate. In 2018, she brought her vision full circle with the Jardin d’Hiver, a glass conservatory that became an instant landmark, a space as refined and alive as the wines she made.

Some of her most lasting work was on behalf of the women who came after her. A pioneer for women in the wine industry, she opened doors that had long been closed and then made sure others could walk through them. She took their calls, answered their questions, and gave them the guidance she hadn’t been offered herself. But to many of the women she mentored, she was simply the one who showed them it could be done. Author, wine educator and journalist Karen MacNeil dubbed her “the Doyenne of Sparkling Wine in America.”

Her influence ran just as deep inside Domaine Carneros. She set the standard for how the team works and how they treat each other, built an open-book culture, and instilled an expectation that never wavered: do the work well, and never lose sight of the people you serve.

“Eileen was Domaine Carneros,” said Erin Stauffer, Domaine Carneros’s chief sales and marketing officer who worked alongside Eileen for over fifteen years. “She built this place with her hands and her heart, and she shaped every one of us who had the privilege of working alongside her. Her standards live on in every bottle, every vine, every guest we welcome through these doors. We will miss her more than words can say.”

When commenting on Eileen’s vast contributions, Champagne Taittinger’s President Vitalie Taittinger shared on behalf of the Taittinger and Kopf families, “Forty-five years ago, when the Taittinger family embarked on creating Domaine Carneros, we knew that such an undertaking required a singular individual, someone capable of bringing together two cultures, two traditions and a shared pursuit of excellence. Eileen was that person. From the beginning, she understood that the ambition was not to reproduce champagne in California, but to reveal the unique expression of Napa Valley.

“Under her leadership, Domaine Carneros became deeply rooted in its own terroir and identity. The wines spoke for themselves: excellence without imitation, authenticity without compromise. At a time when few women held leadership positions in the wine world, Eileen Crane opened a path. She forged her own way with determination, conviction and an unwavering commitment to excellence, and she showed what leadership could look like for future generations. Those who knew her will remember her high standards, her clarity of vision and the respect she inspired.”

Eileen retired as CEO in the summer of 2020 and continued on as consulting winemaker, never far from the place she made her life’s work. Throughout her career, she also gave generously of her time outside the winery, serving the Carneros Wine Alliance, OLE Health, Collabria Care (now Providence Community Health), and Music in the Vineyards.

She leaves behind a remarkable legacy, and a winery family that loved her.

Contributions to Communicare+OLE, Providence Community Health formerly Collabria Care or Music in the Vineyards in Eileen’s honor would be welcomed.

NOTES:

[1] Sazón is a seasoned salt blend widely used in Latin Caribbean cooking particularly in Puerto Rican, Cuban, and Dominican cuisines. The name simply means “seasoning” in Spanish.

The classic blend typically includes cumin, coriander, garlic powder, oregano, and salt, but the defining ingredient that gives it its signature warm golden-orange color is annatto (achiote), a natural dye derived from the seeds of the annatto tree. Some versions also include turmeric.

Domaine Carneros Named Sustainable Business of the Year

Marks nearly four decades of environmental leadership as the winery celebrates Earth Day 2026

NAPA, Calif., April 8, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Earlier this year, Domaine Carneros Winery received the Sustainable Business of the Year award from the Napa Chamber of Commerce, presented by MCE Clean Energy, a not-for-profit public agency that has set the standard for clean energy in California since 2010. Domaine Carneros was founded by the Taittinger family nearly four decades ago with the conviction that the finest méthode traditionnelle sparkling wines begin with the healthiest land.

Since 1987, within the cool, fog-kissed Carneros AVA, the grower-producer winery has been committed to caring for the soil, the vines, and the people who tend to them as an inseparable part of crafting wines of the highest quality.

“When we installed our first solar array two decades ago, we were at the forefront of renewable energy adoption in the wine industry,” notes CEO Remi Cohen. “Today, our advanced microgrid technology represents the next generation of energy independence and environmental stewardship. As climate challenges intensify, Domaine Carneros continues its commitment to caring for the land as intentionally as we care for our wines, reducing our carbon footprint and raising the bar on renewable energy.”

REVOLUTIONARY MICROGRID TECHNOLOGY

In partnership with Schneider Electric who was named the world’s most sustainable company in 2025 by Time magazine, Domaine Carneros deployed the EcoStruxure™ Microgrid in 2023, doubling the winery’s energy generation capacity. The system integrates 614 upgraded solar panels generating 427 kilowatts of clean energy with a 250KVA battery backup and generator. This infrastructure ensures uninterrupted operations during increasingly common power outages due to wildfires and severe weather events, and the system stores excess solar energy generated during the day for use in the evenings or early mornings during peak demand.

The microgrid’s intelligent controls leverage AI to optimize energy usage in real time, resulting in significant operational benefits:

  • Self-generation of up to 70% of energy for winery operations
  • Annual savings of approximately $150,000
  • Ability to operate in “island mode” during grid outages
  • Solar power production of 740MWh in the last year, equivalent to taking 110 cars off the road

The system also powers four electric vehicle charging stations for guests, seamlessly integrating green technology throughout the visitor experience.

AWARD-WINNING ENVIRONMENTAL PRACTICES

Domaine Carneros’ comprehensive approach to sustainability has earned numerous prestigious recognitions, including:

  • 2025 Napa Chamber of Commerce Sustainable Business of the Year
  • 2025 RISE Leadership Award for Energy Efficiency and Savings
  • 2024 City of Napa Leadership Recycling Award
  • 2023 RISE Leadership Award for waste prevention and supply chain greening
  • 2020 Napa Climate NOW! Climate Champion in the Business Category
  • 2019 California Green Medal Business Award

The winery maintains multiple environmental certifications, including California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance, Napa Green Vineyard & Winery, Bay Area Green Business, and Fish Friendly Farming.

BEYOND ENERGY: COMPREHENSIVE SUSTAINABILITY

Domaine Carneros implements sustainability throughout its operations:

  • Diverting an average of 85% of solid waste from landfills through composting, recycling, and reuse
  • Recycling and reusing water used in production to irrigate estate vineyards
  • Reusing 25% of packaging materials annually, saving over 1.2 million pieces since 2010
  • Practicing Integrated Pest Management with owl boxes and beneficial cover crops
  • Composting approximately 450,000 pounds of food waste since 2013
  • Launching on-site grape pomace composting trials in 2025, expanding zero-waste ambitions to vineyard byproducts
  • Implementing lighter weight bottles to reduce shipping impacts
  • Offsetting carbon emissions from wine club shipment

“Domaine Carneros was built on a Taittinger family tenet rooted in their legendary commitment to estate ownership, that the finest wines begin with the healthiest land,” says CEO Remi Cohen. “That belief drives every decision we make in the vineyard and beyond, from how we manage water and energy to how we think about our responsibility to this land and our community.”

Virtual Staging Struggles to Sell Real Estate

NAPA, Calif., Feb. 12, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Staging Collective, a growing organization of more than 45 leading staging companies in North America, sees the challenges that virtual staging creates for consumers in purchasing homes every day. Though there is growing investment in virtual and AI design tools, particularly at Zillow, this group of business owners know that virtually staged homes take longer to sell than homes being traditionally staged after lingering on the market virtually staged.

Traditional staging creates an in-person sensory experience for buyers as they walk through homes. It invokes a lifestyle buyers aspire to that is curated and intentional in its presentation of the home’s assets. Virtual staging is designed to create attractive photographs but consumers report feeling duped when they arrive to empty or occupied homes that look nothing like the listing photos. Most buyers simply are not creating emotional or psychological connections to virtual homes.

This is a familiar experience for one of The Staging Collective’s founders, Anne Furlow, whose company, Step by Stage Interiors, provides luxury staging in Central Florida. “We had a listing recently that the Realtor told us had been virtually staged (twice) and wasn’t selling,” reported Furlow. “We were brought in to provide a consultation and curate a real/traditional staging and the home sold immediately – after the first open house!” This is just one of numerous examples we’ve tracked Furlow stated where their traditional/real staging is consistently outperforming virtual staging in her market. “You get what you pay for,” says Furlow.

The Staging Collective members collect data on their staged homes’ performance in their markets and are increasingly tracking the performance of virtual staging. One member, Lori Bitter of Napa, California’s Dalia Staging & Design, spent the last year tracking the performance of virtual staging in her market. The findings are bleak. While her actual staged homes are selling up to three weeks faster than un-staged homes in the market, from the data Bitter has tracked the virtually staged homes are sitting; most take two to three weeks longer to sell than un-staged properties.

Lest anyone think this collective of high achieving stagers are luddites when it comes to artificial intelligence tools, nothing could be further from the truth.

Melinda Christman, partner in Olive + Opal Interiors in St. Louis, Missouri, and a Collective founder, says, “Like a lot of our members, we’ve started using AI to take some of the busywork off our plates so we can focus on what we actually love — staging and design. It’s been a game-changer for quick writing tasks in marketing or client communication, and we’re constantly swapping ideas on how to use it responsibly and effectively in our businesses.”

ABOUT THE STAGING COLLECTIVE

The Staging Collective is a North American network of home staging business owners who are redefining what it means to grow, lead, and thrive in this industry. This curated group of like-minded entrepreneurs — one per market — believe in collaboration over competition, in building better businesses together. The Collective is equal parts strategy, support, and shared success. The Staging Collective is a movement designed to re-shape and elevate the home staging industry.

Our strength comes from shared experience and peer-to-peer wisdom. With approximately $35 million in combined staging revenue in 2025 and hundreds of homes staged every month, we bring real-world insight, tested systems, and a deep bench of support. Together, we influence how staging is priced, perceived, and practiced across North America.

Domaine Carneros Celebrates 20 Years of Solar Leadership This Earth Day

Pioneer in Sustainable Winemaking Launches State-of-the-Art Microgrid, Further Cementing Environmental Leadership

NAPA, Calif., April 16, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — As Earth Day approaches on April 22, Domaine Carneros is raising a glass to a significant milestone: over two decades of pioneering solar energy in the wine industry. What began in 2003 as the world’s largest winery solar installation has evolved into a cutting-edge microgrid system that now provides nearly 80% of the winery’s energy needs while reducing carbon emissions by 375 metric tons of CO₂ annually, equivalent to powering 50 homes for a year.

Microgrid Solar Panels - Domaine Carneros Winery 2025
Image caption: Microgrid Solar Panels – Domaine Carneros Winery 2025.

“When we installed our first solar array two decades ago, we were at the forefront of renewable energy adoption in the wine industry,” notes CEO Remi Cohen. “Today, our advanced microgrid technology represents the next generation of energy independence and environmental stewardship. As climate challenges intensify, Domaine Carneros continues its commitment to leading with a light footprint while crafting the highest quality wines.”

REVOLUTIONARY MICROGRID TECHNOLOGY

In partnership with Schneider Electric, named the world’s most sustainable company by Time magazine, Domaine Carneros deployed the EcoStruxure™ Microgrid in 2023, doubling the winery’s energy generation capacity. The system integrates 614 upgraded solar panels generating 427 kilowatts of clean energy with a 250KVA battery backup and generator. This infrastructure ensures uninterrupted operations during increasingly common power outages due to wildfires and severe weather events, and the system stores excess solar energy generated during the day for use in the evenings or early mornings during peak demand.

The microgrid’s intelligent controls leverage AI to optimize energy usage in real time, resulting in significant operational benefits:

  • Self-generation of nearly 80% of energy for winery operations
  • Annual savings of $70,000
  • Ability to operate in “island mode” during grid outages
  • Solar power production of 740MWh in the last year, equivalent to taking 110 cars off the road

The system also powers four electric vehicle charging stations for guests, seamlessly integrating green technology throughout the visitor experience.

AWARD-WINNING ENVIRONMENTAL PRACTICES

Domaine Carneros’ comprehensive approach to sustainability has earned numerous prestigious recognitions, including:

  • 2025 RISE Leadership Award for Energy Efficiency and Savings
  • 2024 City of Napa Leadership Recycling Award
  • 2023 RISE Leadership Award for waste prevention and supply chain greening
  • 2020 Napa Climate NOW! Climate Champion in the Business Category
  • 2019 California Green Medal Business Award

The winery maintains multiple environmental certifications, including California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance, Napa Green Vineyard & Winery, Bay Area Green Business, and Fish Friendly Farming.

BEYOND ENERGY: COMPREHENSIVE SUSTAINABILITY

Domaine Carneros implements sustainability throughout its operations:

  • Diverting approximately 90% of solid waste from landfills through composting, recycling, and reuse
  • Recycling and reusing water used in production to irrigate estate vineyards
  • Reusing 20-25% of packaging materials, saving over a million pieces since 2010
  • Practicing Integrated Pest Management with owl boxes and beneficial cover crops
  • Composting approximately 450,000 pounds of food waste since 2013
  • Implementing lighter weight bottles to reduce shipping impacts
  • Offsetting carbon emissions from wine club shipments

“Our commitment to environmental stewardship is fundamentally rooted in our estate vineyards under Allison Wilson’s visionary stewardship,” says Remi Cohen, CEO of Domaine Carneros. “This commitment is further demonstrated through two decades of solar energy innovation powering our winemaking, ensuring our tradition of excellence thrives sustainably for generations to come.”
