Frank Family Vineyards is excited to kick off our second year as a 4ocean certified cleanup partner, committed to supporting meaningful global cleanups and taking action in our local communities. From coastal shores to inland rivers and waterways, we’re eager to unite our fans nationwide and bring a wave of change.

We have been working closely with 4ocean’s cleanup specialists and local partners to identify areas where we can make the most significant impact and reduce waste sent to landfills. Our first cleanup of 2025 took place on Friday, March 28, right in our own backyard of Napa, California. The Frank Family Vineyards team joined the 4ocean crew for a morning of action, removing 771.11 pounds of trash and debris from the Napa Riverfront. This effort helps prevent waste and microplastics from entering the water, eventually reaching the San Pablo Bay and the Pacific Ocean.

“This is more than just a number. Every pound removed helps protect the delicate ecosystems that rely on a clean, thriving river system—impacting everything from local wildlife to the health of the broader watershed and, ultimately, the ocean. It’s proof that when mission-driven partners come together, meaningful change is not only possible—it’s measurable,” shares 4ocean’s Director of Cleanups, Tony Ernst.

Our Napa Valley cleanup kicks off this year’s initiatives, and Frank Family is thrilled to announce more cleanup events planned across the nation. We’ll be traveling from coast to coast, with stops in Chicago, Rhode Island, Seattle, Lake Tahoe, and more.
