Betz Family Winery

For years we've believed that Washington's Columbia Valley produces some of this country's finest grapes. Our "research" over the past 30 years in nearly every vineyard region in the US and Europe keeps us coming back to the natural character of Washington wines. They're a blend of the best elements of the new and old worlds: full, ripe fruit, yet textured for food and structured for longevity.

Our goal at Betz Family Winery is to craft compelling wines with individual character that reflect the vineyards the grapes come from and our dedication to them.

Since the late 1960s we've enjoyed countless hours studying how vintners grow their grapes and craft their wines. A year in the vineyards of Italy, France and Germany followed by numerous adventures throughout the US and other European vineyards have provided a perspective that we hope to bring to our winemaking.

September Surprises!

Two prominent west coast magazines delivered great news about our wines in their September issues. Here are the highlights; see our Acclaim page for details.

Our 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Père de Famille was the top pick in the Deep Pockets Red Wine category in Sunset Magazine's annual Western Wine Awards. "... Your wine was up against a virtual Napa Cab hall of fame ... with two and three times the price tag."

Four Betz Family Wines were among the 100 Best Wines of the Northwest in Seattle Metropolitan Magazine's annual wine awards issue, September 2008. Despit being among the smallest wineries in the tri-state area, four of our recent releases were honored, actually all among the Top 50!

Our 2006 Rhone-inspired wines, Bésoleil, Syrah La Serenne and Syrah La Côte Rousse, will be released to the market in mid September 2008. For information about these wines click above on the "Our Wines" page. And for some early reviews of these three, click on the "Acclaim" button.
