At The Wonderful Company, investing in the places where our employees live and work is central to how we do business. Across California’s wine regions, that commitment comes to life through JUSTIN Vineyards & Winery, Lewis Cellars, and Landmark Vineyards, whose annual Community Grants programs help local nonprofits, educators, and community organizations create opportunities for their neighbors to thrive.
From expanding educational opportunities and supporting workforce development to improving community wellness, protecting natural resources, and increasing access to health care and family services, these grants are designed to strengthen the communities that make California’s wine region so special. This year, JUSTIN, Lewis, and Landmark have collectively awarded more than $700,000 to organizations driving meaningful and lasting impact across Paso Robles, Napa County, and Sonoma County.

JUSTIN Vineyards & Winery awarded new grants totaling more than $350,000 in support for nonprofit organizations and educators across North San Luis Obispo County. Over $300,000 will be distributed to local nonprofits, and an additional $50,000 will be awarded as classroom grants, providing enriching academic experiences for students in the region.
