Columbia Gorge
Rainmaker Vineyard
White Salmon, WA
Rainmaker Vineyard sits in a stunning natural amphitheater at about 1,400 feet above sea level in the mountains overlooking White Salmon, Washington. Part of the original historic Mont Elise Vineyards from the 1960’s, and replanted in 2013, this is an exceptional western Gorge vineyard site. Transitioning to organic in 2019, and planted to a diversity of grapes, this is a truly exciting vineyard. Cold mountain nights retain brilliant acid levels while the south facing volcanic slopes capture the summer sun. Here we grow dynamic Chardonnay to make a distinctively Gorge Sparkling wine.
