Our Second winery, Columbia Crest Winery, prides itself on delivering handcrafted, superior-quality small-lot wines, as well as affordable everyday Washington wines. Their first release in 1984 started a tradition that has established them as one of America’s most popular and fast-growing wineries. Columbia Crest Winery was one of the first wineries to pioneer vinifera grape growing in Washington state’s Columbia Valley. Today, they are proud to be a leader in viticultural research and sustainability.
Head Winemaker, Juan Muñoz Oca, joined Columbia Crest Winery in 2003 and was named head winemaker in 2011.
