Chateau Ste. Michelle is still the state’s flagship wine and world’s leading Riesling producer; they’ve received “Winery of the Year” honors more than 20 times from Wine & Spirits Magazine.
This year, Chateau Ste. Michelle celebrates its 50 year anniversary in grand style. After a $7 million dollar investment, a new visitor center opened in August, doubling in size and including an 80-seat modern theater with tasting tables plus an interactive blending room where guests can create their custom bottle from the winery’s estate vineyards. There’s a Col Solare Bottega featuring Chateau Ste. Michelle’s partnership with Tuscany’s Marchesi Antinori, a private club room and an enoteca representing the global brands in their portfolio including Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte, Tormaresca and Tenet, a partnership with Rhône Valley winemakers Michel Gassier and Philippe Cambie.
