Alto Hotel


Prior to certification, Alto Hotel had already committed to reducing their carbon footprint through offsetting emissions from electricity usage, fuel and flights directly with their service providers. NoCO2 certification furthers the hotel's strong commitment to sustainability and demonstrates ongoing efforts to contribute to a healthier environment.  

The Alto Hotel on Bourke has enhanced its reputation as one of Melbourne's leading hotels in guest satisfaction as well as innovation by becoming the Australia's first carbon neutral hotel. Some food & beverage style hotels, cabins and cottages have offset carbon from some of their services or provide an option for guests to pay for offsets, however Alto is the first city hotel to provide all of its services and facilities as carbon neutral within its pricing.

The Alto Hotel is a leader in sustainable tourism

"We have already been recognised as a leader in sustainable tourism yet wanted to ensure we continue to innovate and show that it is possible to have guilt free travel without compromising on quality or service," said Gary Stickland, General Manager of Alto Hotel on Bourke."Instead of simply paying someone to make our environmental footprint go away we have ensured that we have minimised our output as much as practical first, then made the decision to offset the remaining carbon that we have not been able to remove from our operations" he said. "All of our environmental initiatives have been made by considering our guests first. This means that some guests are not even aware that they have stayed in a sustainable hotel as we have designed our programs to effectively be behind the scenes and not require any effort from our guests, unless they want to be more involved." The hotel provides the key ingredient for the potential to have a low carbon holiday or business trip to Melbourne.

To achieve NoCO2 certification, Alto Hotel undertook a comprehensive carbon emissions audit that captured and quantified all of the hotel's greenhouse gas emissions. The audit included emissions from fuel and energy consumption onsite; staff travel, water and waste usage and flights taken by Alto Hotel staff. In addition, the embodied emissions in the hotel's assets and expenses items were also audited to capture indirect emissions from supply chain purchases and any products bought, used and sold through the hotel.

Art of Espresso

Adrian & Gabrielle Capra of the Art of Espresso Coffee Company began their journey into coffee through the hospitality industry and a love of the cafe lifestyle.

Eleven years ago, they opted for a "tree change" and gave up the city lifestyle to open their dream cafe in the country. It was either open a cafe or don't make the move as Adrian could not go without his daily espressos. After many visits to the country they wanted to introduce the city cafe scene to the country and thus their quest to change the way coffee is perceived in the country began.

They quickly gained a reputation for their coffee, food and service but it was the coffee where they held their passion. After serving coffee at local country events they decided to design and build a mobile coffee cart.

Art of Espresso are now proudly NoCO2 certified.

Cullen Wines

Cullen Wines is located in the Margaret River region of Western Australia. The company has always had a legacy about caring for the environment. Initially starting in 1971 as a minimal chemical input vineyard, they then became certified organic and then finally certified biodynamic with the Biological Farmers Association.

In the early 1960's detailed climatic studies of various regions in Southwestern Australia revealed that during the winegrowing season, Margaret River's climate was similar to that of Bordeaux, particularly Pomerol. The conclusion that Margaret River was ideal for viticulture was first tested in Wilyabrup in 1966, when Diana and Kevin Cullen planted a trial acre of vines. The encouraging results led to the couple planting 18 acres of vines on their sheep and cattle farm in 1971.

Cullen Wines while remaining family owned has since evolved making quality wine from biodynamically grown grapes sourced exclusively from The Cullen Estate Vineyard and Mangan Vineyard.

The philosophy of Cullen Wines is to search for the best quality expression of the vineyard in the wine.  The maritime climate, rocky soils, dry farming, and biodynamic practices all help to create individual and diverse winestyles which are unique to Cullen.

Las Ninas

In 1996, when the Dauré family undertakes a strip of study in Chile and Argentina, they return convinced that Chile was the 'promised land'. It's culture is a little as theirs; Latin background, the language is familiar and the Chilean wines conquered them. Soon after, they began to look for the country estate and they travelled across the country from Casablanca in the north to the valley of Curico in the south. They chose the valley of Colchagua and specifically Apalta, it seems to them one of the best Chilean native land.
