At Revelry Vintners we create wines with a sense of place, in one of the most exciting wine growing regions in the world. Specializing in both Bordeaux and Rhone grape varieties, and with elite sourcing across the Columbia Valley, the winery is both incredibly diverse and extremely focused on quality. Our winery is an architectural award-winning facility, constructed in 2018, and is situated on 20-acres of beautiful farm land in the Walla Walla valley. It is an exceptional setting in which to craft our wines and share them with our friends and patrons. In 2020 we set a Washington wine record, when 12 bottles of our D11 Cabernet Sauvignon sold at auction for a staggering $105,000. Its an exciting time to be a part of Revelry Vintners
