The Experience
Sleight of Hand Cellars brings its world-class winemaking prestige and famous punk-rock attitude from Walla Walla straight into the modern heart of The Yard. Founded with a mission to make world-class, 90+ point wines while keeping the experience completely fun, this cult-classic winery blends serious viticulture with a deep passion for music, rock heritage, and vintage magic lore. The tasting room features a massive, floor-to-ceiling vintage vinyl record library where the staff spins classic rock, punk, and indie tracks on premium turntables. Decorated with concert posters and retro arcade art, the room offers an incredibly fun, high-energy tasting escape with heavy-hitting, elegant flights of Syrah and Cabernet.
About Sleight of Hand Cellars
Music, storytelling, and Washington wine come together at Sleight of Hand Cellars, creating an experience that feels as creative as it is authentic. Founded by Trey Busch and Jerry Solomon in 2007, the winery has earned a devoted following for producing expressive, small-lot wines while embracing a personality that is unmistakably its own. Album covers, guitars, and musical influences are woven throughout the tasting experience, reflecting the founders' belief that great wine, like great music, has the power to bring people together.
Behind the playful branding is a serious commitment to winemaking. Sleight of Hand sources fruit from many of Washington's most respected vineyards, crafting Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Grenache, and Rhône- and Bordeaux-inspired blends that consistently showcase balance, depth, and a strong sense of place. Visitors can explore both celebrated flagship wines and limited-production releases, discovering how thoughtful vineyard selection and restrained winemaking allow each vintage to speak for itself.
While the winery has received widespread recognition for the quality of its wines, the atmosphere remains relaxed, engaging, and refreshingly unpretentious. Whether you're discussing your favorite vintage, swapping music recommendations, or simply enjoying a glass with friends, Sleight of Hand creates an experience that feels personal from the moment you arrive.
