About Matthews Winery Tasting Room
For more than three decades, Matthews Winery has been quietly shaping the conversation around Washington wine through a philosophy rooted in balance, elegance, and vineyard expression. Established in 1993, the winery has become especially respected for crafting Bordeaux-inspired wines that showcase the remarkable potential of Washington's Columbia Valley without relying on excessive ripeness or heavy oak. Every vintage reflects a commitment to thoughtful farming partnerships, meticulous winemaking, and the belief that restraint often creates the most memorable wines.
The tasting room at The Yard at Harvest introduces guests to a portfolio that spans Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc, and carefully composed blends sourced from some of Washington's premier vineyard sites. Rather than emphasizing a single flagship wine, Matthews invites visitors to experience how different vineyards and vintages shape each bottle, revealing the nuance and diversity that have helped establish the winery as one of the state's enduring names. Guided tastings are relaxed and engaging, encouraging guests to explore the wines at their own pace while learning about the vineyards and craftsmanship behind every pour.
There's a timeless quality to the Matthews experience. It feels refined without being formal, making it just as enjoyable for someone discovering Washington wine for the first time as it is for those returning to revisit a longtime favorite.
