About Laterus Winery
Some wineries are built around tradition. Laterus Winery was founded on the belief that tradition should always be questioned. Established in 2016 by Washington winemaker Tyler Farnsworth, the boutique winery reflects a spirit of curiosity and creativity shaped by years of experience in the cellar, including more than a decade working alongside acclaimed winemaker John Bigelow at JM Cellars. A graduate of Washington State University's Viticulture and Enology program, Farnsworth created Laterus as an opportunity to pursue wines that are expressive, distinctive, and unapologetically individual. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Small-batch production remains at the heart of the winery, with each vintage crafted to stand apart rather than blend into the crowd. The portfolio features thoughtfully made Washington wines that balance precision with personality, allowing vineyard character to shine while embracing a fresh perspective on familiar varietals. Guests visiting the Woodinville tasting room can expect an experience that feels personal and relaxed, where conversations about winemaking are encouraged and every pour reflects the winery's willingness to explore beyond convention. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
That independent mindset is what makes Laterus memorable. It's a winery driven by passion rather than formula, offering visitors the chance to experience handcrafted wines from a winemaker who believes the best ideas often come from taking a different path.
