For over a decade, Genoa Cellars has been Woodinville’s home for Sangiovese and Super Tuscan-style wines, built on Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Merlot grown on Red Mountain. It’s one of the smallest and most decorated AVAs in the country, a punishing stretch of land with relentless heat, constant wind, and sandy soil that makes the vines work for every drop. That’s where the flavor comes from, and it’s been home to Genoa Cellars since founders Derek Berger and Scott Heinrich first started making wine together in 2004.

 

Today, the tasting room in Woodinville’s Warehouse District is the kind of place you make time for, whether it’s the first stop of the day or the last. Walk in, pull up a seat, and taste your way through a lineup built on Red Mountain fruit and Italian inspiration. No pretense, no wine-speak required, just good wine and good company. It’s the kind of place that’s easy to come back to, whether that’s every weekend or just whenever you find yourself in Woodinville.

 

Open Saturdays and Sundays, noon to 5 pm, in the heart of Woodinville’s Warehouse District. Come taste what over a decade of Super Tuscan-style wine, grown in Washington, tastes like, and keep coming back for more.
