"I’ve tasted enough to know that this is not hype. I look forward to visiting the winery at the earliest opportunity, because it is truly rare that a new AVA generates this much excitement. Meanwhile, I strongly urge you to sign up for the mailing list and get a taste of at least some of these wines."

Have you seen Chef Austin's newest menu creations for June? We're a tad obsessed with his new dish featuring Whipped Willoughby cheese, apricot preserves, Leavenworth chanterelles (pickled and candied), and Prosciutto di Parma! But we're in LOVE with the Lemon semifreddo with lemon curd, Italian meringue, wood sorrel granita, strawberry preserves, and almond pearls that's on our current menu... mmmmm. Vote for your favorite Chef Austin creation of all time in the comments below!

Announcing our 2021 Glacial Treasure, a mouthwatering white wine blend from our sustainable Double D and Clos CheValle Estate Vineyards with notes of white peach, key lime and delicate floral aromatics swirling in the glass. Our winemaker Liz Keyser loves it for its texture and body, noting its supple roundness on the palate, and juicy stone fruit character. "It's light and bright, with a thirst-quenching acidity, and finishes with zesty lemon-lime notes." This is your perfect wine for welcoming summer!

Great news — Rocky Pond has been Certified Sustainable by the Washington Winegrowers Association and Sustainable WA for our 2022 harvest!

Shane Collins, Rocky Pond’s Director of Viticulture and Vineyard Relations, explains that Rocky Pond is one of only a handful of growers participating in this first “beta” test for the program.

The Sustainable WA certification guarantees that a consumer product is crafted with the pillars of sustainability at heart — it must be environmentally sound, socially equitable, and economically viable. It is a rigorous, science-based program and built with continuous improvement in mind.

This certification aligns with Rocky Pond’s values, and along with our LIVE and Salmon Safe certifications, we are proud to be held accountable to our community, as well as to our own meticulous internal standards. Sustainable WA is the first statewide certified sustainability program, and we are so proud to lead the way for a sustainable future for Washington!

Big news for Rocky Pond and Washington wine — it's official, our flagship Double D Vineyard and Rocky Reach Estate Vineyard will become Washington’s twentieth AVA, known as Rocky Reach.

The Rocky Reach AVA will encompass over 50 square miles along the Columbia River from Wenatchee north to Lake Chelan. Unlike its surrounding wine region, Rocky Reach possesses a unique combination of topography, soils, and climate — all of which call for a singular AVA designation.

We think our owners David and Michelle put it best: “This is an essential step towards recognizing what we’ve known for some time – that this is a remarkable place to grow and produce quality vines and wines.”

Won't you join us in raising a glass to Washington wine and its newest AVA!

Good Day Seattle's Bill Wixey visited us to share the exciting news that Washington state will soon see a new American Viticultural Area named after Rocky Reach! Rocky Reach AVA takes its name from the Rocky Reach Dam and the Rocky Reach Reservoir (also known as Lake Entiat). Steamboat captains first applied the name “Rocky Reach” to the region in the late 1800’s, to describe the rapids within a stretch, or “reach”, of the Columbia River. Check out the story on this new AVA, and see what the team had to say about Rocky Pond Estate's leadership role in shaping the future of Washington wine from the Columbia River Valley!

Have you collected our award-winning 2019 Syrah from our Double D Estate Vineyard in the Columbia River Valley? Check out what Chef Austin has to say about it:

"This wine sings with a variety of smokey, gamey dishes. We suggest smoked eggplant, pork, or duck prepared with Asian 5-spice. Perhaps a sweet and spicy braised pork taco with hoisin and chili flake? This wine can stand up to stronger flavors and deserves a spot at your next barbeque or summer celebration." 🍷
