History

Established in 1995.

Mark and Tina purchased the 15 year old vineyard and home in 1995. They began with the intention of selling the grapes and did so until 2001 when the winery was built and their first vintage was crafted. Mark is the vineyard steward and Tina is the winemaker. They live on site where they have raised their family. The production does not exceed 1000 cases per year, as they intend to stay a managable size that they themselves can maintain, keeping quality and consistency in their craft.

Mark and Tina H.

Business Owner

Mark and Tina began their journey by purchasing a 15 year old vineyard in 1995 with the intention of selling the grapes to local winemakers. They enjoyed life on the vineyard while working and raising their children. Mark played the role of vineyard manager while Tina took in the lessons the vineyard has to offer for winemaking. After spending time with a couple of local winemakers, Tina enrolled in the NW Viticulture center’s winemaking program. She instantly fell in love with the art of making Pinot Noir. Mark agreed to build their onsite winery that resembled something you might stumble on «off the beaten path» in Burgundy. Tina models her winemaking style after the old world French style that crafts wines with elegance, finesse, complexity and are cellar worthy. Together they enjoy tending to every vine and cluster that brings the magic together in the glass.
