Nestled within the dramatic contours of the Columbia River lies the Columbia Gorge AVA, one of the Pacific Northwest’s most captivating wine regions. This area, spanning south-central Washington and north-central Oregon, is rapidly gaining recognition for its remarkable wines. Here, pioneering women winemakers are leading a renaissance, crafting world-class wines with innovation, passion, and a commitment to sustainability. Their dedication is elevating the Columbia Gorge to international acclaim, offering wine lovers a taste of something truly unique.

The Columbia Gorge AVA is renowned for its diverse terroir, shaped by volcanic soils and varying microclimates. From the lush, cool-climate vineyards of the west, perfect for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, to the sun-drenched eastern slopes ideal for Syrah and Tempranillo, the region offers a tapestry of flavors. Our winemakers celebrate this diversity, crafting wines that honor both the land and their heritage. With every glass, the Columbia Gorge tells a story of contrast, innovation, and the magic of a land where nature’s variety is a constant source of inspiration.
