Tucked away in a hidden canyon in the Verde Valley lies a winery that is committed to saving the planet.
“We feel like we are doing what’s right, to be honest,” said Luke Bernard, assistant general manager for Page Springs Cellars.“The two main cornerstones to our sustainability efforts are solar power and water reclamation,” said Bernard.“In the last few years we were able to add more photovoltaic cell panels onto our roof here and we are 100% solar-powered,” said Bernard.
When it comes to water, Bernard says “We are treating and reclaiming all of our grey and black water."“The coolest part is that we have created artificial wetlands using native plants from the creek banks down here to act as a biofilter,” said Bernard. “We have a dedicated employee to sustainability that focuses on our composting program,” said Bernard.
“Even our pizza boxes are compostable, the corks in our bottles are made biodegradable,” said Bernard.
