Terra Blanca Winery

Terra Blanca Winery Terra Blanca owners Keith and ReNae Pilgrim, purchased 300 acres on Red Mountain at the confluence of the Yakima and Columbia Valleys and began planting the vineyard in 1993. The first grapes were harvested from the estate vineyard 1997. Over the last ten years the Pilgrim's have guided the winery and vineyard operation from rattlesnake-infested sagebrush to a pristine 80-acre vineyard and a winery that produces over 24,000 cases per year. Plans are to continue developing the remaining acreage over the next 5 - 10 years. A portion of this development has been dedicated to the cultivation and identification of other varieties and clones that might prosper in the Eastern Washington climate. Terra Blanca employs a number of talented and hard working part-time, full-time and seasonal individuals. In addition to our regular employees we also rely on volunteers who are a big reason why Terra Blanca can roll out the "red carpet" on event weekends.
