Preston Premium Wines

Preston Premium Wines was the third bonded winery in Washington state when it took root in 1976. That is ancient by Washington wine standards. However, it was the dream of Bill and Joann Preston to establish a vineyard (that mushroomed to 157-acres) and put Washington on the map for premium wine production.

They created a mini-museum at their winery, where, among other items of note, visitors can get an overview of cork production in Portugal and examine Joann’s extensive collection of corkscrews.

The elevated tasting room provides a commanding view of the Preston vineyard. Preston Premium Wines offers a full sleight of estate wines including a second label bearing the name Long Tail Lizard Series. For port fans, Preston produces “Tenrebac” port (“Tenrebac” is cabernet spelled backwards). The winery’s spacious tasting room also features a well-stocked gift shop and is the portal to the wine museum downstairs.

Of particular note is the large outdoor seating area used for picnicking and listening to live music.For those WineTrail trekkers seeking a winery for a corporate event, family hoedown, or wedding, take note of the winery’s many amenities. From the deck outside the tasting room, you can see Preston’s manicured park, which includes a gazebo, a pond, an amphitheater, and a waterfall.
