About Landon McPherson

“Having grown up in Wine Country and hospitality, the launch of Harvest Card seemed to be natural. So, I created a membership program that would allow those who are not “industry” to experience Wine Country as an insider. I want all Harvest Card members to feel that they are right there with me, each and every time they have a Wine Country experience. I am so fortunate to live in such an incredible region and know that the luxury we experience daily is nothing to be taken for granted. Harvest Card was created to benefit both locals as well as our friends who visit a few times each year, to help elevate your experience.”

At Harvest Card, we have the privilege of working with a variety of wine country’s best restaurants, wineries, hotels, and services. However, we have one very special partnership with a local non-profit that exists to give back to the community. Sonoma Family Meal started in 2017 in response to the devastating Northern California firestorms that took place that year. Now, the mission of Sonoma Family Meal is to mobilize the local food community to serve families experiencing a transitional need for prepared food assistance. Sonoma Family Meal was founded by Heather Irwin who currently serves as the CEO. Taylor Eason serves as the treasurer, and Harvest Card’s founder and CEO, Landon McPherson, serves as the secretary. Heather, Taylor, and Landon, along with countless other volunteers, work diligently to ensure that Sonoma Family Meal continues to serve the community. The organization partners with those in the Bay area food community to prepare chef-made meals quickly, safely, and efficiently. Since 2017, over 125,000 meals have been prepared and donated

Little did they know, this trip would inspire them to build their own winery.

A winery owner who also worked in real estate told the family about a property in Petaluma, Sonoma County. Soon after, Eduardo, Ana, and Cecilia decided to take a leap of faith and start what is now Enriquez Estate Wines. Enriquez Estate Wines is a new partner of Harvest Card and we encourage you to visit this fantastic winery and meet this incredible family.

Balletto Vineyards: Dedication to Sustainability

2019-01-08T03:51:55+00:00

Located in Santa Rosa, Balletto Vineyards has become one of the most established and successful wineries in the area. Not only do they produce incredible wines, but they are very dedicated to cultivating sustainability. Through its various sustainability practices, Balletto Vineyards has attained awards and recognition for its efforts while bettering the environment. Balletto Vineyard’s Sustainability Practices Cover Crop: Every year, a cover crop - typically legumes - is planted after the grapes have been picked. This practice helps increase the soil’s organic matter, cycle nutrients, and provide erosion control. Natural Pest Control: We have bird perches and owl boxes in each vineyard so that birds and owls will come and hunt for gophers and other rodents in the vineyards. Compost: All our grape pomace is composted for about 9 months before spreading and tilling it back into our vineyard’s soil. This helps improve soil structure, increases soil nitrogen, helps with positive microbiological activity and provides other micronutrients to the soil. Habitat Management: We make sure the border areas are
