Page Springs Cellars is tucked into the volcanic landscape of the Page<br />

Springs area, along the beautiful banks of the Oak Creek. Protecting<br />

this beauty goes hand-in-hand with winery operations at PSC. Owner<br />

Eric Glomski’s eco-responsible approach embraces environmental<br />

stewardship of the vineyards and winery, providing the cornerstone<br />

of winemaking. A certified-sustainable winery (via Sustainability<br />

Alliance), PSC continues to work towards protecting our planet.<br />

Decreasing its carbon footprint seems of equal importance as creating<br />

fine wines at Page Springs Cellars. The eco-winery employs solar<br />

voltaic panels which can be found covering the winery roof and<br />

shading the parking area, making the winery 100% solar powered.<br />

PSC’s onsite wastewater treatment system converts all grey and black<br />

water into high quality effluent that is reintroduced to the water<br />

table through adjacent mesquite bosques. In congruence with water<br />

reclamation, PSC also actively participates in a ‘water offset program’<br />

that allows PSC to boast their ‘net-zero water usage’ status.<br />

Sustainability is the culture at PSC. From no-till farming to an<br />

extensive recycling program, composting to paperless hand dryers,<br />

Page Springs Cellars is going the distance. Even the body butters<br />

and food supplements at the PSC Shop are created through the<br />

repurposing of pressed grape skins and seeds.<br />

A connection to the wine that one drinks only seems to increase<br />

the enjoyment. Page Springs Cellars’ connection to the land that it<br />

farms and its surrounding environment offers peace of mind and<br />

a connection that is hard to avoid when immersed in the beautiful<br />

winery...It doesn’t hurt that the wine is world class.<br />
