In 2005 the Seal family paired up with the former winemaker Steve Bailey and friends to make wine for personal consumption out of his garage. As the years passed we were able to source better fruit, refine our processes, and share our newfound passion with others. On the heels of a great 2009 crush, father and son team, Mike and Ryan started talking about sharing their passion for good wine with more than just their close friends. In 2010 Mike and Ryan Seal along with Ryan’s childhood friend Scott Hussey founded Sigillo Cellars, an Italian translation of the Seal name.
Under the guidance of former winemaker, Steve, we broke into the industry that first year with a 400+ case production. By 2012 we had increased our production to just over 1,300 cases and opened our doors to the public and converted a corner of our production space in Snoqualmie by adding a tasting counter. We continue to increase production to include a portfolio of traditional Bordeaux and Rhone varietals as well as a few other favorites. With the help and loyalty of our family, friends and Valley Community we opened a separate tasting room in the beautiful historic Sunset Theater in the heart of downtown Snoqualmie in May of 2014. To maintain our belief that wine should be experienced and not merely tasted, we have expanded our beautiful family friendly tasting room to include light fare for those who want a longer experience, a new outdoor seating area for the Mt. Si viewing experience, and live entertainment for those who want an evening experience.
