We had an amazing tasting experience and tour at Emeritus Winery. Every Pinot Noir we tried was excellent, and Glenn was absolutely top class from start to finish. This was hands down our best wine tasting experience to date.

Love this winery and highly recommend it for an afternoon tasting. The winery is beautiful, staff (especially Gigi) is great, and the wines are Awesome. They serve potato chips with the wine, and I'd never think to do that at home, but it's delicious. Great sparkling, whites, and a wide selection of Pinot's

Loved this place! Glen and Gigi were so approachable and engaging. It was nice to go to a winery that didn’t feel pretentious, and the seating/ vibes were extremely comfortable. Underrated, great tastings, and the bottle : tasting ratio made sense. Bonus points- our dog was a welcome guest 😍
