Abeja

Spanish for bee, our name is pronounced "AH-BAY-HA." We Chose this name for its simple beauty and its reminder of times past when farming implied a respect for the environment and a close connection to the Earth.

It is our belief that each day, we can make a difference in the quality of our care for the land, and no matter how small, any difference we make is worthwhile.
We create our wines and receive our guests under this same philosophy.

Nicholas Cole Cellars

Located in the historic and charming city of Walla Walla, Washington, Nicholas Cole Cellars was started by Mike Neuffer in 2001, taking its name from his children, Nicholas and Michele Cole.

Today, the goal is to produce hand crafted wines, using only the highest quality grapes in Washington State, while paying homage to the members of our family that so greatly influenced our passions.

Stephenson Cellars

Owner David Stephensons first release of a 2001 Syrah was just the beginning.
By 2002, his Syrah earned 92 points and in 2003, a Syrah earning 94 points.
His small operation produced a double gold Cabernet in 2003 proving that Stephenson Cellars was creating big things while maintaining David’s love for remaining small and building a loyal, dedicated fan base.

Keeping production limited affords he and his small staff the ability to watch over every aspect of the business, building lasting friendships along the way with their customers. Business with a hand shake is how David likes to keep things.

Va Piano Vineyards

Va Piano Vineyards, our 20-acre estate property located next to the winery, has been growing grapes in the Walla Walla Valley since 1999. Their primary focus is red varietals; Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, Cab Franc & Petit Verdot.

Knowing that exceptional wine begins with exceptional fruit we only utilize state of the art viticultural practices. The vineyard blocks are trellised on the vertical shoot positioning system (VSP), which is a canopy management technique that arranges the shoots in the trellis to allow for better sunlight penetration and increased airflow.

Our vineyard has been farmed with sensitivity to its soil and surroundings through the use of sustainable agricultural. The Walla Walla Valley Vinea Trust is our local organization that provides the support and guidance to growing grapes in a sustainable environment.

Woodinville Wine Cellars is a small boutique winery that produces small quantities of handcrafted wines.

Their grapes are secured annually from several prominent Washington State vineyards. Each wine is fermented in small lots and barrel aged for up to 18 months, using French Oak selected to compliment, not mask the terrior.

Each lot and individual wine barrel is meticulously monitored from the moment the fruit is hand harvested, to the day the wine is carefully bottled.
