Winery

Our Mission

To intertwine the expression of our place with that of the northwest’s terroir through sourcing thoughtfully grown grapes and creating wines with minimal intervention and traditional and progressive techniques.

How It Started

In the fall of 2020, we launched into the world of winemaking, crushing our first few tons of grapes in the cellars below our downtown pub. At that time, our path was unclear as we enthusiastically dove into a new challenge through the lens of craft brewers. Throughout the year we tracked our wines, took diligent notes, and let the project bend our brewing minds. We studied, sought out, and enjoyed wines from around the world. We met with gracious winemakers and vineyard managers excited to share their knowledge with our lot of curious brewers. We were humbled by the warm reception we received as we developed our passion for winemaking.

Through this, we found our path. We are inspired by what it means to source grapes thoughtfully and how to gently work with them to create exciting wines that are alive and full of character. We have chosen a path of minimal intervention to transition these grapes from sustainable, and often biodynamic, vineyards in the Pacific Northwest into our wines using traditional, yet at times progressive, techniques. We create wines that we want to drink: free of added flavorings, sugars, or chemicals commonly found in conventional wines. Wines that are natively fermented, unfiltered, and unabashedly characterful. Wines that are living and evolving! We are excited to share these wines with you and hope you find them as exciting and thought-provoking as we do.
