RESERVE YOUR TASTING WITH OWNERS EMILY & LEE!
We are so excited to welcome you out to our winery. You'll experience the Yakima Valley at its fullest, surrounded by orchards, the Rattlesnake Hills and mountain views.
Given the fact this is a small, family-owned and operated winery, we do have limited seating. This allows Emily & Lee time with each of you to share info on the wines and our winery journey.
