In honor of Earth Day, AD digs up the premier aesthetically compelling natural vineyards on the planet, from South Africa to Oregon.

With the increasing spotlight on conservation around the world, more vineyards are committed to sustainability and becoming biodynamic now than ever before, adhering to the principles of the philosopher Rudolf Steiner. He believed that the position of the moon and stars within specific constellations and times of year influenced the growth of the vines, roots, flowers, and fruit. Many such vineyards go the extra mile, by resorting to “dry-farming” principles, plowing the soil with livestock and hand-picking the grapes.

Herewith, AD lists the most beautiful biodynamic vineyards around the world.
