Oliver Winery Celebrates ESOP Month

October is ESOP month!

Oliver Winery has operated as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) since 2006. This business model allows employees to share in the success of the business through annual stock allocations at no cost to them.

In previous years (pictured above), our staff joined together to enjoy Eggs, Sausage, Oatmeal and Potatoes to celebrate our ESOP (see what we did there?). 2020 marks our 3rd annual ESOP breakfast, but of course, things looked a little different this year.

To honor our ESOP in 2020, with safety considerations at the forefront, we held a walk-through ESOP breakfast. Staff visited our outdoor venue to grab a lunchbox packed with a delicious (and nutritious!) breakfast. Some folks chose to spread out and enjoy their meal beneath the patio lights, others chose to grab-and-go, but in both cases it was nice to see each other in a safe and fulfilling way!

Each day, we show up to work proud of what we do — for each other, our families, and the community. The ESOP is just one special way we own our hard work, and when we all have skin the game, we all give 100% effort.
