We offer tastings and are planning for a win

e club soon. We are continuing to expand the winery and vineyard, and just completed a new tasting room. You can taste our wines at our unique bar as well as stepping down into our cellar production area where we can show you the winemaking process. Also, we are currently able to host outdoor events. Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy a bottle of wine at a table or on the lawn overlooking the vineyard. We welcome your children and dogs to join you. Raised in a farming community in Walla Walla, Washington, R.D. served in the United States Air Force and worked as a government contractor before entering the wine business. Junghee has been a manager at the Quantico Marine Corps Exchange for over 20 years. Since planting the vineyard in 2007, both have been devoted to growing only the healthiest grapes which are key to producing great wine. and Junghee purchased the land for the vineyard in 2006, planted their grape vines in 2007, and built the winery in 2014. They are both pleased to offer a new spot where locals and tourists can meet, drink wine and have a relaxing time in a friendly environment.

It’s National Flower Day, and our wines are blooming with flavor.
From soft floral aromas to bright, delicate notes that dance in the glass, each sip at Caret Cellars is a little bouquet of its own.

If you’re looking for a sign to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy something lovely… this is it.

Come by the tasting room this weekend and let your senses blossom with us.

Sip the flowers. Savor the moment. Celebrate the season.
