Founded in 1934, Chateau Ste. Michelle is Washington state's oldest winery. Its history dates back the repeal of prohibition, when Washington's bountiful fruit and berry harvests were vinified to produce the Northwest's first wines. By the 1950s, the company began planting classic vinifera grapes in the Columbia Valley, and buoyed by encouragement from wine writer Leon Adams and industry legend Andre Tchelistcheff, made its first varietal wines under the Ste. Michelle label in 1967. Its pioneering efforts awakened America to a new wine region.<br><br><br>Tours Offered: Yes<br><br>Wine Maker: Mike Januik<br><br>Year Founded: 1934 |
