Kiona Vineyards & Winery
|
|
Kiona Vineyards was founded by John and Ann Williams with former partners in 1972 with the purchase of 86 acres of raw land in the arid climate of Southeastern Washington. Located on Red Mountain, the site would later be an internationally recognized premier wine appellation. The original site was void of roads utilities or structures. The partners recognized the site as one which could produce grapes that exhibit the bright fruity varietal intensity of the cooler upper Yakima Valley and the rich full bodied character of the warmer Columbia Basin. Combined with these ideal climatic conditions is a deep, well drained, chalk like soil structure, which is in some ways similar to those of the finest vineyards in Europe. Before the first acreage could be planted in 1975, wells were drilled, roads were platted, and electricity was brought in from three miles away. The initial Kiona production in 1980 was 504 cases, compared to the 25,000 cases produced in 2002. With the talented team of Scott Williams and Glen Fukuyama, recent growth has been concentrated on producing world class wines. The result of this effort is now available in the market. Kiona's success has been remarkable. National and international recognition has focused attention on our vineyard. The Red Mountain area, pioneered by Kiona Vineyards, is considered one of the prime growing regions in Washington State. There are currently several wineries nearby. Numerous vineyards with excellent reputations for quality have been developed in the Red Mountain area.
