According to a recent permit filing, Wautoma Springs plans to expand with another location in Woodinville at 19501 144th Ave NE STE C800.
A representative of Wautoma Springs was not immediately available for commentary upon What Now Seattle’s request.
While an official opening date has yet to be confirmed, according to the company website, “In 2008 Jessica Munnell approached Tom Merkle about working together to create a wine that featured his grapes. A partnership was formed that became Wautoma Wines – made of the best Cabernet Sauvignon from Wautoma Springs and Malbec from Wahluke Slope’s Stone Tree Vineyard.”
“Eight years later Rachel Mercer joined the duo and the three set their sights on increasing production and opening a Tasting Room. In December 2019, Wautoma Springs Tasting Room in Prosser, WA, opened. Since then the team has grown to include Shae Jenkins as Wine Club Manager and a small, but mighty team of wonderful tasting room staff.”
“The epitome of a boutique winery, producing extremely small-lot, hand-crafted wines from people who know the business inside and out. This isn’t a venture capitalist’s or a lawyer’s winery – not that there’s anything wrong with that. We know the soil. We know the vines. And we know how to make good wine. Our story is in every bottle.”
“Wautoma Springs Tasting Room is located in Prosser’s Vintner’s Village. Wines crafted by owner Jessica Munnell with grapes grown and managed by owner Tom Merkle. Our wines are dry, delicious, and small-production. Our tasting Room features a tapas menu with tasty, wine-perfect bites.”
