Hybrid is a brand from the prestigious estate Peltiier. All of the 1,000 acres of the Peltier estate are farmed sustainably according to Lodi rules, a third party certified program created for the Lodi appellation by a committee of scientists, growers, a wildlife biologist, and farm advisors. These are stringent rules that Peltier farms by and have been farming since our great-grandparents began growing wine grapes. It is the care for the land, air, water, habitat, and worker with a long-term vision focusing on farming for the future of the land. They were one of the first growers to receive certification for this program.

Owl boxes are placed throughout their vineyards to encourage a natural habitat for owls who become the pest control for gophers and meadow voles. Cover crops are planted in their vineyards to promote soil health, prevent erosion and increase organic matter which reduces tractor use and dust while promoting healthy air quality. Water conservation is achieved with drip irrigation which efficiently irrigates the vines. Land habitat and native plants are preserved to protect endangered species. Soil is kept healthy with the addition of organic matter and compost. Energy use is made efficient with the use of a solar water heater to clean our tanks. Solar panels cover our entire crush pad to provide natural energy for our winery operations. The worm farm is an energy efficient way to treat our process water for re-use in the vineyard.
