Camping with Wine: Now Less Impact, More Fun
Clif Bar & Company has built its success on providing quality organic products for the adventurous at heart. With their release of the Climber Pouch this April the tradition continues.
The Clif Family Winery and Farm
The Clif family has been making high quality wines on the Clif Family Winery and Farm in Napa Valley since 2007, where they grow, as well as source their fruit from local and North Coast farms that have demonstrated an environmental commitment to organic and sustainable farming methods. The Clif Family Winery and Farm itself became CCOF certified in 2009, due to their production methods that sustain the natural resources of the local community and increase awareness of organic and sustainable farming. The winery is also a proud member of 1% for the Planet and 1% of all Climber Pouch sales go to this wonderful organization. The owners of the Clif Winery, Gary and Kit, also offer some unique visiting options through their Velo Vino visit that combines a cycling excursion with wine tasting, hopefully in that order.
The Climber Pouch
The new Climber Pouch is touted to be an “all terrain wine transport” and some serious design work has gone into the product and packaging to make it just that. The 1.5L wine pouch has an increased convenience factor thanks to the punched hole towards the top; perfect for a carabiner attachment to any pack. The pouch is sturdier than a typical glass wine bottle, not to mention a lot lighter on your way to the campfire. The pouch also has an 80% lower carbon footprint and creates 90% less waste than two typical glass wine bottles. Once empty the pouch can be rolled up and stuffed anywhere, and on the rare occasion that you don’t drain the bag in one go, the pouch can be resealed and retain its freshness for up to one month!
The Climber Pouch is currently available in a “crisp, unoaked Chardonnay and a juicy Cabernet Sauvignon.” Go ahead, you deserve to wet your whistle after your next adventure.
