Closing the Loop
Smart Waste & Resource Recovery
We believe in turning waste into opportunity. Our recycling and composting programs ensure that materials are reused meaningfully, both on our property and beyond.
Recycled Materials
Each porch rocker throughout the resort is thoughtfully crafted from recycled milk cartons, combining sustainability with comfort and charm.
Compost in Action
We compost using The Mill throughout the resort to nourish and support our on-site gardens and feed our chickens.
Clean Conversion
Carneros Resort and Spa uses biodegradable cleaning products in bulk and converts used cooking oils into clean biofuel.
