Goodbye Walla Walla: Jennifer and I have made the difficult decision to close our Walla Walla tasting room effective Aug. 17th.

When we hitched our wagon, ok our Toyota pickup, and headed east four and a half years ago it was a different time in wine sales and tourism.

Our focus remains on running our winery and production here in Western Washington. Nothing will change for our Woodinville and Maltby tasting rooms.

If you’re in Walla Walla on Saturday, Aug. 16th, join me and Jennifer in saying goodbye to our sweet little downtown tasting room.

Our library sale was so much fun last weekend, we decided to keep the party going! At Maltby this weekend we will keep our library wines out for you to peruse. Think five, 10, even 20 year-old vintages! This sale is unlike anything we have ever done before. Quantities are extremely limited, so come out early. Have a question? Shoot us a note.

On another note, there are just six cases of The Informant left!

Our Story

Guardian Cellars started with two new French oak barrels, a love of chemistry and an obsession with the vines. Winemaker Jerry Riener and his wife, Jennifer, founded Guardian Cellars in 2003 with a dedication to creating handcrafted wines from the finest vineyards in the state, and that attention to detail hasn't diminished. Between Guardian and Newsprint Jerry and Jennifer make more than a dozen wines - a nice mix of Bordeaux-style blends and straight varietals. Come visit us in Woodinville’s Hollywood District or in Maltby’s Vault complex.
