Why are Bird Boxes Important in the Vineyard?

To encourage natural predator activity, Opus One has installed bird boxes and perches throughout the Estate. These boxes provide safe, sheltered habitats for beneficial species such as owls, songbirds, bluebirds, wood ducks, kestrels, and other raptors. By supporting these predators, we help maintain the ecological balance of our vineyard agroecosystem and reduce reliance on human intervention.

In 2021, the Opus One team came together to shape our 2030 Vision – a roadmap that defines the behaviors and actions most vital to our employees, our community, and our planet. One of the key initiatives born from this vision was a commitment to being globally responsible across every facet of our organization, from vineyard to table. By nurturing our deep connection with the land, we honor an intimate, symbiotic relationship that ultimately reveals itself in every glass we share.
