CRU Winery Santa Lucia Highlands Tasting Room Becomes Blue Zones Certified
CRŪ Winery is proud to share they have been designated a certified Blue Zones tasting room at their Santa Lucia Highlands location. This impressive certification recognizes CRU Winery for actively implementing lifestyle changes and environmental modifications to promote longevity and overall well-being.
CRU Winery has been active with the Blue Zones Project since 2023, with a monthly hiking series at the CRU Winery tasting room in Soledad. This series inspired the winery to complete the certification process which addressed four pillars consistent with promoting overall well-being. With this certification, CRU Winery becomes the first tasting room in Monterey County to achieve a Blue Zones certification.
As a part of the Blue Zones pillar of moving naturally, CRU Winery will once again be teaming up with Valley Farm Management and Blue Zones Project Monterey County to offer their monthly hiking series at the CRU Winery Santa Lucia Highlands tasting room. Participants will hike through the sustainably farmed Paraiso Vineyard learning more about the importance of growing wines sustainably and then end with a tasting of CRU's award-winning wines.
