What Makes This Place Special
Bold Reds
Known for powerful, ageworthy Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Bordeaux-style blends made in a rich, complex, long-lived style.
Cozy Atmosphere
Features several comfortable, intimate seating areas, including a glassed-in library space and a boardroom-style private room that encourage lingering over a glass.
Estate-Grown
Produces wines from its own estate vineyards that are farmed and managed by the team, with only a small portion of top fruit reserved for the label.
Events / Weddings
The large reception area, commercial kitchen, and generous entertaining spaces are regularly used for special events and release parties with food and wine pairings.
Family-Owned
Founded and run by Michael and Lauri Corliss, with a hands-on ownership presence that shapes both the wines and the hospitality experience.
Good for Groups
Regularly hosts larger tasting events where guests move between multiple pour stations and mingle in the historic space, making it a natural fit for groups.
Hidden Gem
Despite critical acclaim and “cult” status among Washington wineries, visits are limited and by reservation, so it tends to feel like a special insider find rather than a walk-in spot.
Private Tastings
Tastings are offered strictly by reservation, with options for fully personalized, private experiences that often include a tour and focused, guided lineup.
Sustainable Practices
Farms its vineyards using sustainable viticulture, including careful soil management and reduced chemical inputs, with a focus on vine health and long-term stewardship.
Tours Offered
Private experiences can include a behind-the-scenes look at the production facility and cellar, adding an educational tour component to the visit.
Upscale
Offers ultra-premium, meticulously crafted wines poured in a high-ceilinged building filled with art, antiques, and thoughtfully designed tasting areas, creating a polished, luxurious feel.
Wine Club
Operates an allocation/registry-style list that gives members special access to limited releases, events, and more personalized visit opportunities, similar to a traditional wine club.
