The Madsen Family Cellars in Olympia, licensed in 2005, began with two barrels of Cabernet Sauvignon. They quickly expanded, opened a tasting room and now have created more than 11 wines, both red and white. Their carefully crafted wines originate with grapes grown in Eastern Washington vineyards including Stone Tree Vineyards on the Wahluke Slope, McKinley Springs Vineyards in Horse Heaven Hills and the Seth Ryan Vineyard in Benton City.

Mount St Helens Cellars
Gary and June Dunbar and their daughter Teresa, own Mt St Helens Cellars winery in Silverlake Washington. Located near Castle Rock on Spirit Lake Hwy. on the way to Mt St Helens. We love making wine, and have been doing so for over 20 years. Gary is passionate about our reds, and we have several whites, and dessert fruit wines as well. We love producing wines, and have developed unique blends that are very popular. We acquire our grapes from Eastern Washington from The Crawford Farms in Prosser. We are growing a small vineyard of Pinot Noir here at our winery, and will have our first harvest this fall. All our production, bottling and labeling is done here at our winery, and we set high standards for ourselves in the making of our wines.

Whisper Ridge Winery
We are an "Old World" style winery with a hands-on flair. We (Bill & Mandy) are actively involved in the process of selecting outstanding quality grapes from the finest vineyards in Washington to hand labeling each bottle. We truly love the art, elegance (and of course the taste) of our wines! Our first signature wine, "A Voix Basse", made its debut May 2008. Now that the secret is out, our wines are available on a limited quantity but made with infinite quality and style. Tasters of "A Voix Basse" report that it is dangerously delicious, which translates to "I want to drink the whole bottle all to myself."
