History
It is commonly held in the wine industry that wine makers are by nature, a little eccentric. And truly, who would argue with that? Wine making is tough stuff; it requires patience, intuition, diligence, trust and most of all passion. You don't start a career, have children and then decide that what you'd really like to do with all of the spare time on your hands is to start a winery, if you're not passionate and maybe a little eccentric.
Specialties
It has been said that wine reflects its environment. Elsom Cellars' wines are filled with the clatter of artisans working hard at their craft, sharing stories, friends laughing, and eventually, it all ends up in bottle. Owner Jody Elsom is a pioneer in the Seattle urban winery movement. Since 2006 we have been producing brilliant Washington wines in the city, exploring the complexities found only in vineyards east of the cascades. Our wines offer distinctive flavors, born of a singular desire to create the quintessential gesture of hospitality.
