About us
-
Stemilt Creek Winery was founded by Kyle and Jan Mathison in Wenatchee, WA. The Mathisons are fourth-generation farmers. The family has grown fruit trees in the area since Thomas Cyle originally homesteaded in 1893.

In 2001 the first vineyards were planted, and in 2003 the Stemilt Creek Winery was officially bonded. Our vineyards are situated at 1,600 feet elevation within the Wenatchee foothills on steep northwest-facing slopes. Afternoon breezes further accentuate our warm days and cool nights which is crucial for the ideal ripening of wine grapes. We feed the vineyard our rich, world-famous compost in the fall to replenish the soil. The vines are high-density planted, and low-yield, ensuring the intensity of developing flavors. These site characteristics coax out a unique and recognizable signature among our wines – focused fruit underlying a predominantly earthy complexity.
