JOIN OUR TEAM

We work hard. We play hard. With wine.

The quick and dirty about us (or you could just read through this website…):

We are a fourth generation farming family who added winegrowing and winemaking to our farming portfolio back in 2002. In addition to farming our own vineyards for our estate winery, we also grow and manage 390 acres across the Yakima Valley. A few years ago, we started our journey toward becoming certified-sustainable and became Washington State’s first certified vineyard through Lodi Rules for Sustainable Winegrowing. In 2022, we became certified-sustainable through the new Sustainable WA program (that we actually helped build and beta test). We love educating the next generation of wine people and know that the future of our industry is dependent on the opportunities we can provide to it. Do you want to be a part of the future of Washington wine? Then you should totally join us!
