Welcome

Our winemaker Shane Howard
is honored as one of the

"The Fantastic Four" - 2021 Washington Winemakers of The Year

 

The Washington State Wine Awards announces the 2021 results plus the newest levels of premier recognition for Washington wine. Founded in 2006, this year celebrates the 16th anniversary of the state’s largest and most prestigious wine recognition program. Executive director Christopher Chan has added another set of jewels to the crown of Washington State wine royalty including Bunnell Family Winery, Mellisoni Vineyards & Winery, Pondera Winery & Three of Cups. Congrats to all of you!

Pondera Winery is a family owned, boutique winery located in the Warehouse Winery District of Woodinville, Washington. Winemaker, Shane Howard, has been making wine since 2003 and the winery was officially launched with the Pondera brand in early 2005.  The winery specializes in the production of high quality, well balanced red and white varietals and red blends. Our grapes are sourced from several of Washington’s most highly regarded vineyards.  Each wine is very limited and our entire production is currently 3000 cases annually.

 

Today, most of our wine is sold direct through the tasting room in Woodinville and through a small number of wine shops and restaurants. We plan to stay small, keeping a hands on approach to producing outstanding hand-crafted wines in limited quantities. We age our wines longer in barrel and bottle than most wineries, so they are ready to drink upon release.  Enjoy!
