Customer Testimonial Videos
Propane plays a crucial role for Katherine Piña-Capponi, owner of Piña Winery, in keeping her centuries-old vineyard and winemaking operations running smoothly—especially during challenging fire seasons and rolling blackouts. When solar energy wasn’t an option, Katherine relied on propane to power forklifts and generators, ensuring her business stayed operational.
For over a decade, Suburban Propane has been a trusted partner for St. Francis Winery & Vineyards, providing essential solutions to protect their 130+ acres of vines. From shielding the vineyard from seasonal frost to enhancing the efficiency of their irrigation systems, we’ve played a key role in supporting their operations.
Meet Dean Herman and Hee Young Lee of Herman Vineyards, who made the switch from gasoline to propane for a cleaner, more sustainable way to power their vineyard’s frost machines. Their decision reflects a commitment to greener energy while keeping their operations running smoothly.
Heating and Frost Protection
In colder months, vineyards combat frost risk with propane heaters and wind machines, safeguarding delicate grapevines. Strategically positioned equipment maintains consistent warmth, ensuring a successful harvest.
Irrigation
Propane can power irrigation pumps, which are essential for delivering water to crops in areas where water is scarce or for drip irrigation. Propane-powered irrigation pumps can be used in remote locations where traditional power sources are not available, making it a valuable asset for farms. For example, vineyards and orchards often rely on propane-powered irrigation systems.
Equipment Power
Propane fuels vital vineyard equipment such as forklifts, mowers, and utility vehicles, offering reliable power with lower emissions than gasoline or diesel. Unlike diesel, propane can be easily stored without the risk of degradation, making it a convenient and long-lasting fuel option. This cleaner energy solution allows vineyard operators to reduce their environmental impact while efficiently managing their operations year-round.
Backup Power
Propane-powered generators can provide critical backup power for wineries during power outages. This is especially important for wineries that rely on electrically powered equipment, such as refrigeration for wine storage and processing. Many wineries use propane-powered generators to maintain optimal conditions for fermentation and temperature-sensitive storage, ensuring production remains uninterrupted during power disruptions.
