Big week for Neher Family Wines 🍷

Our RJ Rosé Pick Up Party is this Friday, May 29th from 3–6 PM, and we’re excited to finally share this special wine with everyone who purchased bottles.

RJ Rosé was created in honor of Roger Cockerline — our friend, mentor, winemaker, educator, and one of the early pioneers of the Walla Walla Valley wine industry. This wine means a lot to our family, and we’re proud to carry his story forward with this release.

We’ll also be pouring our current red lineup and giving everyone a first taste of something new: our 2025 Chenin Blanc.

The Chenin Blanc label is a special one for us too — a nod to the ladies of the Neher family, with their favorite flowers surrounding our signature N.

Light snacks will be provided, and Clay in Motion Gift Shop will be open late with 20% off storewide.

Friday, May 29
3–6 PM

Racking and topping—not the glamorous side of winemaking, but it matters.

We’ve got everything racked, and the 2024 blends are starting to take shape. Barrels topped, wines cleaned up, and moving in the right direction.

This is the quiet work that builds world class wines that end up in our bottles.

Join us Saturday, April 4th from 11–4 for our Spring Tasting 🍷

Jeff and Karen will be pouring and sharing the story behind Neher Family Wines.

We’ll be offering a special barrel tasting of our 2025 RJ Rosé of Sangiovese—crafted in honor of our dear friend and winemaker, Roger Cockerline. In his legacy, a portion of proceeds will support a scholarship for a student in the WWCC Enology & Viticulture program.

Only 42 cases were produced, making this an incredibly limited and meaningful release.

We’re also proud to share our 2022 Petit Verdot was awarded a Gold Medal at the 2026 Savor NW Wine Competition—this is the final vintage we produced, and a special one to experience while it lasts.

✨ Friends & Family Pricing All Weekend
$20 bottles | $200 Single Varietal Cases
✨ Tastings are always FREE

Come spend the afternoon with us, taste through the lineup, and be part of something meaningful.
