In a decisive move by the Napa County judiciary, Hoopes Vineyard found itself on the losing side of a recent compliance court case. Brian Bordona, the Director of Planning, Building, and Environmental Services for the County, confirmed the favorable ruling in a statement, asserting the importance of a fair and effective winery permit process. “This ruling is a culmination of many years of code enforcement efforts by the County to bring Hoopes into compliance, beginning with a request for voluntary compliance,” Bordona noted, as cited by Napa County.
