designing  together
Designed to highlight the unique history of Washington wines and celebrate the gateway to the Horse Heaven Hills appellation, the facility features indoor and outdoor seating areas, a tasting bar, and a unique barrel room for reserve wine tastings. Reclaimed wood sourced from barns in the local region, along with Eco-friendly Windswept Weathered Wood, showcase the stories of the families who built them.
This is exhibited throughout the interior and exterior to reflect the winery’s location and celebrate family farmers who play a significant role in the area. The winery also features an expanded collection of 14 Hands “The Reserve” wines, and will include seasonal offerings throughout the year. “We are thrilled to offer our customers the opportunity to enjoy 14 Hands in the surroundings of our new tasting room that was deeply inspired by the beautiful landscape of the Horse Heaven Hills appellation,” said Ted Baseler, President and CEO of Ste. Michelle Wine Estates.
“Not only does this give people the opportunity to taste some Type to enter text
of our bestselling wines, but it also gives us the ability to create and experiment with reserve and special vineyard wines,” continued Baseler. “We hope to see wine lovers from across the world visit our winery and tasting room, and take part in the best of what the region has to offer in the way of wine, food and experiences.”
In 2005, 14 Hands was introduced in fine dining establishmentsonly, however consumer excitement over the years created a broader demand for the wines. Today, 14 Hands is available nationally and exported to 24 countries. It is among the top 10 premium wine brands in the U.S. and the number one selling wine in Seattle and Portland since mid-2011 (AC Nielsen).
The winery’s Prosser, Washington site is the former location of Snoqualmie winery. Extensive renovation transformed the facility into an important destination along the town’s wine tourism corridor. Snoqualmie's production will move to Paterson, Washington, where Winemaker Joy Andersen will continue to focus on crafting wines using sustainable and organic techniques.
14 Hands wines are inspired by the spirit of the wild horses that once roamed the arid landscape of eastern Washington. It was here that these special horses – measuring a scant "14 hands" tall – developed their legendary endurance, strength, and tenacious spirit. Like these wild horses, the vineyards struggle in the same harsh conditions of eastern Washington. It is their ability to thrive in this environment that produces the world-class quality fruit that goes into each bottle of 14 Hands. Learn more at 14hands.com.
