History

Established in 1987.

Thurston Wolfe winery is a family owned and operated business founded by Dr. Wade Wolfe and Becky Yeaman. After becoming first winery to be established in Yakima Washington, the winery moved to Prosser Washington in 1992. With growing demands for higher production of wines and an increase in consumers, Thurston Wolfe expanded and built an entire new facility from the ground up in the summer of 2008. Today, it sits with a collection of other wineries located in what is now called the Vintners Village in Prosser, less then a mile away from exit 82.
