Biodynamic Wines
Welcome to wine country with a conscience.
At Curated Winery Tours , we celebrate the vineyards that go beyond exceptional wines by cultivating the land with care, purpose, and balance.
What Makes a Winery Biodynamic?
Biodynamic wineries treat the vineyard as a living, self-sustaining ecosystem. Rooted in holistic philosophy, this approach integrates natural farming methods with lunar and cosmic rhythms to create harmony between the soil, vines, and surrounding wildlife.
Core principles include:
- No synthetic chemicals – Only natural composts and preparations are used.
- Biodiversity Farms often raise animals and grow diverse crops to encourage a balanced environment.
- Lunar calendar farming – Viticultural activities follow celestial cycles to stay aligned with nature’s rhythms.
- Demeter certification – Many biodynamic farms earn this prestigious global standard.
The result?
Wines that are expressive of their terroir crafted with deep respect for the earth and its energy.
