Our mission at Gård is to capture and bottle the unique characteristics of the land we farm. We humbly craft value-driven, award-winning wines from our sustainable estate vineyards to create lasting memories for our customers.
Gård Vintners is dedicated to crafting world-class wines from its sustainably farmed estate vineyard on the Royal Slope of Washington’s Columbia Valley AVA. We produce 6,000 cases a year for our wine club, three tasting rooms and select distribution in the northwest and across the country.
Founded in 2006, Gård Vintners is a family-owned and operated estate winery in the heart of Washington’s Columbia Valley AVA, with vineyards on the Royal Slope, wine production in Walla Walla, and tasting rooms in Woodinville, Walla Walla, and Ellensburg.
The winery was founded by Josh and Lisa Lawrence, along with Josh’s dad John Lawrence and uncle Sandy Lawrence, who had farmed the Royal Slope for more than 40 years. The winery and estate vineyard is now owned and operated by Josh and his wife, Lisa, who oversees sales and marketing, while Josh oversees the vineyard and other farm and orchard operations.
In 2011 Aryn Morell joined the team as winemaker, and winemaking is now managed at M&L Production in Walla Walla, a partnership between Morell and the Lawrences.
ADD TO FAVORITES
What makes an estate winery so special?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There are some very specific requirements to be able to add the word "estate" to the label, all grapes must come from vineyards owned or controlled by the winery. Control over the vineyard allows us to control aspects such as new varieties planted, how much to grow, yields, watering schedules, how much fruit to drop, and canopy management, among many other important growing decisions.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We take pride in growing each and every grape grown and picked for the Gård label, among others at the seven Lawrence Vineyard sites. The #RoyalSlope is a home we've created over the last 50+ years, and we're excited to continue to grow.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So while it's just a word on the label to you, it translates to more jobs for our community, consistency in every vintage, growth for our farming operation and a lot more work, work that we don't mind because in the end the Lawrence Estate wines speak for themselves, a reputation that we built with every grain of dirt.
The most wonderful time of the year. #harvest2018 #wawine #lawrencevineyards #royalslope
