If public health conditions allow, we plan to host a safe and socially distant version of Wine & Chocolate Weekend. On Friday, February 12, we are partnering with Nate Lindskoog of The Tower Grill on a Valentine’s Dinner for Two kit. Pick up your romantic dinner kit, which will include wine, at the tasting room and take it home to create your own intimate evening. When you purchase your kit, we will send you a link to video instructions by Chef Nate on how to whip up this delicious meal.

On Saturday, February 13 & Sunday, February 14, we will be offering one hour seatings where guests can enjoy a glass of wine or a flight. Guests can “sweeten the deal” by purchasing a charcuterie box of tasty goodies to pair with their wine.

After the rich foods from the holidays, we like to give our tummies (and our hips!) a little break by finding fresh and light dishes to sneak into our menu rotations. This Middle Eastern inspired meal is full of aromatic spices, which will make your kitchen smell heavenly while you’re roasting the mushrooms and onions. There is a long list of ingredients, and feel free to substitute for anything you don’t have on hand. Serve a fresh and crunchy salad alongside and you’re nailing your New Year resolutions. Enjoy this light meal with a light wine! We think either the Dry Riesling or the Lilly White would be amazing. If you’re a red wine fan, go for the Sangiovese or Henry’s Red.   Cheers!

Anyone who knows us knows how much we love our Syrah. It was one of the first of three grape varieties planted in the Williamson vineyard back in 1999. We sent our currently available Syrahs to a Syrah competition and at the beginning of 2020 where they received top awards. Wine Press Northwest recently completed their 2020 Platinum Invitational. Wines had to receive gold or higher awards during the 2020 year to be invited. With hundreds of northwest wines submitted, our 2018 Syrah received a Double Gold, and our 2016 Reserve Syrah was awarded a Gold. This wine is still available in our tasting room and from our webstore. Cheers!


It’s that time of year again. Time for your homemade cranberry sauce. We’d love you to try this Williamson family recipe at your next family gathering.
