Skagit Cellars is a multi-award-winning, family-owned and operated winery located in Mount Vernon, Washington and tasting room in La Conner. We started making wine in the garage as a hobby back in 2008, but for Winemaker Mark Hulst, it quickly became a passion. By 2012 Skagit Cellars began commercially producing wine. Within a year our wines began winning awards at local, national, and international wine competitions.
We select only the finest grapes from the Chelan and Columbia Valleys and use a natural process during production. Currently, 80% of fruit is sourced from Lake Chelan AVA. The grapes harvested from each vintage should be the focal point of every bottle and as a result, our wine represents the best flavors of each variety from that year. When you enjoy Skagit Cellars wine, you can be confident that you are enjoying a quality glass of wine that is never bottled before the wine is ready. The flavors determine when we bottle, rather than “industry standards."

Riverview Vineyard, Columbia Valley
We decided to do something fun for the tasting notes for this complex wine. While we get lemongrass and almond on the nose, and vanilla with a nuance of peach on the palate, we are more curious as to what scents and flavors YOU get out of it! Rather than telling you what you should smell and taste, we want to turn this tasting into an adventure….what aromas and flavors are you smelling and tasting?
