Hours: Year Round

Our vineyard and winery are located on the Wahluke Slope AVA  - an isolated, south-facing plateau bordered on the west and south by the winding Columbia River, to the north by the Saddle Mountains, and to the east by the Hanford Reach.  The desert heat and abundance of water create the right conditions for production of premium wine grapes.

We are located a few miles from the Petrified Ginkgo Forest.   This Central Washington area was once vastly different.  About 15 million years ago the region was wet and humid, dominated by swamps and shallow lakes surrounded by forests.  In the 1950s, highway construction near Vantage, Washington uncovered thousands of petrified prehistoric trees.  The rarest variety was ginkgo, a tree that became extinct in North America millions of years ago.  The tree survived in Asia and was reintroduced to North America in the nineteenth century.  We have planted several hundred ginkgo trees near the winery where they can evolve into a new ginkgo forest.

Our red wine releases include: barbera, cabernet sauvignon, grenache, malbec, merlot, syrah, pinot noir, and three red blends. We also feature a dry gewürztraminer, three rieslings, a white blend of gewürztraminer, riesling and viognier, and a late harvest gewürztraminer.  To top off your meal we have port-style syrah and raspberry dessert wines.
