Hours: Year Round
It is commonly held in the wine industry that wine makers are by nature, a little eccentric. And truly, who would argue with that? Wine making is tough stuff; it requires patience, intuition, diligence, trust and most of all passion. You don't start a career, have children and then decide that what you'd really like to do with all of the spare time on your hands is to start a winery, if you're not passionate and maybe a little eccentric.
Growing up in Woodinville was a very different experience then it is today. There weren't the myriad wineries to look up to or visit, there were two. Yet nevertheless a passion was born in me to found a winery here in Woodinville using 100% Washington grapes.
After entering the professional world I decided that I needed to follow my childhood dream and start a winery and with the help of those around me I achieved this goal. Since 2006 Elsom Cellars has been producing 100% local Washington wine from Washington's top vineyards. Through this process I have found a lifelong love of Washington's Malbec grape and continue to find endless excitement in exploring its many complexities and countless flavors. I can't wait to share my passion with you in our winery, from our table to yours.
