Participating wineries include Hedges Family Estate, Klipsun, Col Solare, Fidélitas, and others (the full list can be found below). Red Mountain’s powerful Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, and more will be available, alongside hors d’oeuvres by Twelve Baskets Catering. More than 60 wines will be featured from the 24 wineries, highlighting current releases as well as library selections. Red Mountain wines will also be available for purchase.

The Red Mountain AVA is one of the smallest and most densely planted AVAs in Washington. Nestled at the base of Red Mountain, the AVA is bordered to the west by the Yakima River, which provides irrigation and moderates extreme temperatures in the summer and winter. The vineyards are planted on a southwest slope, providing optimal sun exposure needed to ripen the region’s calling cards: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Malbec. The first vines were planted here in 1975, the region became an AVA in 2001, and Red Mountain has earned worldwide recognition for its top-tier quality ever since.

The Winemakers Reserve is a beautiful event venue within a winery, with ample space for guests to explore all the wineries in attendance. The venue has ample parking available. Tickets are $100 and are available for purchase now.

ABOUT RED MOUNTAIN AVA

Red Mountain is a premier winegrowing region in southeast Washington with a storied reputation for world class Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux blends. The region is named after a hill that turns scarlet red with cheatgrass in late spring, and which quietly looms behind the area’s most celebrated vineyards. In addition to several award-winning wineries offering a host of hospitality experiences on Red Mountain itself, Red Mountain wines can be enjoyed across Washington, as the region cultivates the most sought-after fruit in the state for wineries in Walla Walla, Woodinville and beyond. Red Mountain is a destination for collectors of Napa wines, but especially for lovers of powerful red wines. For more information, please visit redmountainava.com.
