6 of the Best Wineries in Washington State - AFAR

"Started in 2003 as a project that gathers internationally renowned winemakers to craft signature bottlings from Washington fruit, this operation runs tasting rooms in Woodinville and Walla Walla (the Walla Walla space is decorated with Dale Chihuly glass). A resident winemaker and viticulturalist oversees vineyard work and vinification to meet each guest winemaker’s specifications. The portfolio comprises seven single-winemaker wines; notable examples include Poet’s Leap riesling, known for its age-worthiness and value, and Pedestal merlot, prized for its polished, velvety, plummy warmth." - Bryce Wiatrak
