About Our Corks

Because we hold agriculture so close to our hearts, it should come as little surprise that we selected our cork supplier with the same attention and care that we take with our own estate vineyards.

The Emeritus Philosophy Behind Our Vineyards

Emeritus Vineyards is more than just our wines. We also want to share who we are, what we do, and why we love what we do. It all starts with the Emeritus philosophy that great wines are shaped by three fundamental factors: soil, climate, and people.

Celebrate National Ag Day

Hosted by the Agriculture Council of America (ACA), National Ag Day was launched in 1973 to recognize the important contributions of America’s farmers and ranchers. It’s a day to celebrate the industry for providing almost everything we eat, use, and wear on a daily basis.

Keeping Our Footsteps Light

At Emeritus Vineyards, we do everything we can to work lightly upon the earth. The world is what we make it, and this is especially true of sustainability; we want our vineyards (and our world) to last!
