Jason Long became involved in the wine industry in 2006 when he began assisting several Woodinville wineries. Working with them taught Jason how to appreciate, make, and sell wine while simultaneously incorporating fun and laughter. In 2010, Jason produced his first vintage of wine and has never looked back. The primary mission at Long Cellars is to produce fine wines using Bordeaux varietals from some of the most notable vineyards in Washington. Currently, Jason is sourcing fruit from vineyards located in the Red Mountain and Yakima Valley A.V.A.s, which are two of the oldest A.V.A.s in Washington. Currently, single varietal and blended wines are being produced using all 6 red Bordeaux varietals.

Producing fine Bordeaux wines is only part of the dream. Jason also enjoys providing an entertaining social environment by connecting good people with fine wine. Who doesn’t love to have a conversation while enjoying great wine? Producing something as elegant and complex as wine is an honor and it satisfies a lifelong urge to create.

Jason is a landscape architect with a strong affinity for the environment, sustainability, and the natural world. Designing and restoring natural elements is a large part of his background and winemaking provides another creative outlet. All of the winemaking parts and processes at Long Cellars take into consideration that consumables should have limited or no unnatural ingredients. All of the vineyard sources follow sustainable practices, and in some cases are certified Live Sustainable or USDA Organic.
