Emeritus Vineyards - Winery in Sebastopol - 2500 Gravenstein Hwy N, USA

Visit Emeritus Vineyards for one of the top tasting experiences and don’t miss the tour of the vineyard. Producer of award winning Pinot Noir wine, the headquarters is the Hallberg Ranch in the Green Valley region of the famed Russian River Valley.

Great winery in Sebastopol - with an indoor / outdoor tasting room arrangement. All of their wines are Pinot based, but they make everything from Whites to Roses to traditional Pinot Noir reds with those grapes. Very pleasant experience with knowledgeable staff. The entire place - including estate tours - is dog friendly. Worth a visit!

Lovely afternoon tasting at Emeritus. Relaxed, not rushed. Enjoyed getting to taste my first white Pinot. Overall, excellent experience! Look forward to returning next year.

Lovely tasting experience of a great range of Pinot Noir wines in a beautiful setting. Photo is of a plant that I didn't know - part of the beautiful gardens around the winery.

We stopped into Emeritus from recommendations from other winemakers we were members with. It was at the end of the day hoping we could try a few selections. As we walked in, we were greeted with "do you have a reservation and our you a member". I said no we aren't members and don't have a reservation, but we were hoping to taste your wines because friends of ours and winemakers have recommended you. The Manager was very rude about it all and an associate stepped in and said they would gladly help us. After just a couple of tastes we were hooked. We proceeded to join the wine club, but that same Manager then refused to comp our tastings because we weren't taking immediate delivery of our wine. Well we had just received numerous shipments in the fall allocations and quite frankly were interested in getting our shipment with the first shipping in February. This was a complete turn off to me, about this winery and the Management. We gave them a full application with our CC number and full intentions of becoming a long term member as I am with Hartford, Siduri, Joseph Jewell etc. Our associate helping us was very helpful and also felt this wasn't right either. Things like this turn you sour on a winery, and it is because of the attitude of the Manager. They represent the Owners and that is what they are representing. Her reasoning for not serving us was "she was slammed". I never saw her get up once the whole time we were there. It just is poor customer service, in an industry predicated on people spending a premium for a premium product. When we checked out she never said thank you or we appreciate your business, just a very stand- offish look and pure contempt. I even complimented the wine and facility. But my impression of this winery is not the wine it is the attitude of this person and their contempt for our business.

My husband and I had a wonderful visit. The fall scenery is beautiful, the wines were all amazingly tasty, and the weather was perfect. We were not at all rushed. Thank you to our server Glen who took very good care of us!

My family and I really enjoyed it here. Great outdoor seating, super cozy, and lovely views! The wine was exceptional and the hostess was knowledgeable on the different wines. Pinots are my favorite. I would definitely recommend it here! Cheers! 🍷

Had a wonderful tasting here. Great service, nice tasting room, relaxed vibe, vineyard views and not too crowded. The white pinot noir wine was a highlight and very unique. We bought two bottles!
