Crush
Harvest is one of our busiest and most exciting times of the year. We have about 6 weeks to bring in all of the grapes that we need to make all of the wine that we will have available for that vintage. It means long days but we hope the end result makes it all worth while. Check out some images from crush over the last couple of years.
Bottling
Bottling is one of the areas where a little magic happens. We empty our barrels and tanks and fill thousands of wine bottles as gently as possible. At the end of the day we have all of our wine stacked and ready to go to the tasting room where it will be released a few months later.
Beautiful Lake Chelan
Lake Chelan is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Here is a collection of images from the winery and around the valley. Come and experience this incredible area for yourself!
Vineyards
Vineyard sources are one of the most important decisions a winemaker can make. We have some of the best vineyard sites in the state of Washington. Check out some of our pictures from the vineyard.
Tannin The Wine Dog
Every winery needs a good wine dog. Tannin is always excited to meet new people. He is a rescue dog from the Seattle Humane Society and we adopted him in June 2010. Tannin is a HUGE part of our family and we wonder how we ever lived without him.
A weekend that has it all: great views, long conversations at the tasting counter, the smell of oak barrels wet with wine and wood smoke in the morning air. There’s a little bit of breathing room everywhere you go and everyone you meet has relaxed into post-harvest glee. Taste warming reds right from the barrel and linger over a sample of what could be a double-gold winner at future wine competitions.
