Healthy Vines, Pure Wines serves as a guide, which derives its information from real-world sources to share green practices in sustainable viticulture in a practical way. Including a how-to on treating vineyard issues organically, a look at how climate change is affecting viticulture, and a special focus on women in the field, this handbook maintains a forward focus.

Also included are 16 case studies on successful organic, biodynamic, and sustainable wineries from the San Francisco North Bay Region, focusing on how what each has done can be replicated.
