Gordon Estate, located in the heart of Washington's Columbia Valley, is proud to be the state's oldest estate winery, exclusively using estate-grown grapes to craft its hand-made wines. In 1980, Jeff Gordon, along with his wife Vicki and brother Bill, planted their first vines on a sagebrush-covered slope overlooking the Snake River. Five years later, in 1985, they released their inaugural small-lot Chardonnay from their estate vines. Today, Gordon Estate is a growing name in both production and acclaim, continuing to produce superb wines that reflect the unique terroir of southeastern Washington.
