Whitestone Winery - Spokane

In 1992 Walter and Judy Haig took a chance on creating a vineyard on Lake Roosevelt , Washington. It turned out to be a perfect location to grow grapes . They only use grapes from their estate vineyard and they don't grow white wine grapes, only red (which is fine by me). In July of 2005 the winery opened up a small tasting room at the production facility in Wilbur, Wa. They renovated an old service station in 2001, the winery has since expanded with a new barrel aging building and 10,000 square foot production facility. The tasting room is open Fridays and Saturdays 11am to 4pm Memorial Day to Labor Day. In April of 2009, Whitestone Winery opened up a brand new tasting room in downtown Spokane, WA. The new tasting room allows them to showcase their wines and their passion for winemaking in a downtown urban location. The Spokane Tasting room is open year round Thursday, Friday, and Saturday Noon to 6pm.
