Hispanic Heritage Month | Napa Valley Farmworker Foundation
In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, PlumpJack Collection of Wineries is raising money and awareness for the Napa Valley Farmworker Foundation. In addition to donating a portion of proceeds from wine sales (September 15 – October 15), we are offering the opportunity to raise additional donations through the PlumpJack Foundation which will be dedicated to the Napa Valley Farmworker Foundation.
This incredible organization has been instrumental in working with farm workers who are predominantly focused on working the many vineyards located in the vast Napa Valley region. They provide education, professional development, leadership training, vineyard management, English literacy education, mentorship, and family programs that include immigration resources, navigating school systems, and citizenship class training.

Learn More About the
Napa Valley Farmworker Foundation
Since 2001, the Napa Valley Grape Growers have provided education for farmworkers through programs such as the Spanish Brown Bag Series and Napa County Pruning Contest. In 2010, NVG Board Member, Arnulfo Solorio, presented his dream of creating a foundation to provide education opportunities for farmworkers year-round. With overwhelming support, his vision became a reality and the Napa Valley Farmworker Foundation was established in 2011, the first grower-supported organization of its kind in the United States.
The Napa Valley Farmworker Foundation provides a variety of programs annually that focus on developing skills in adult literacy, vineyard operations & safety, leadership & management, mentorship, and family life.
Employees benefit tremendously from employers who support and encourage professional development. By putting opportunity within reach, we all rise together. The Napa Valley farmworker community is critical to the success of the wine industry and we believe that by investing in the people who tend the vineyards, we are investing in the future of our valley.
