Why Membership?

Membership is special.

You are the foundation which enables us to dream.

We are obsessed with the Columbia Valley, and all the dynamic vineyards within it. Each year we set course to care for them with the aim of crafting wines that are a true reflection of the dynamic texture and layered depth found within the distinct terroir of our extraordinary region.

And with each vintage, our obsession grows deeper.

With each release, we hope you find a window into the meticulous dedication we strive for in caring for our vineyards. Each wine is made to share during the moments where you feel your life is most well-lived.

Our members are not just fans. You are the lifeblood that fuels us to continue our pursuit in showcasing this incredible region in it’s best light. We love making wine for you. We hope you feel our passion in every bottle. In every glass. Through every vintage.

Join us on our journey into the full expression of the Columbia Valley.

Because obsession loves company.


How we release wines

Tenor releases 6-8 wines per year.

Each wine is released after our winemaking team feels it is in its optimal state for you.

After each vintage is bottled, we set aside your desired amount for 9-12 months in our temperature controlled cellar. The wines are carefully evaluated over several months to ensure they are setting into harmony.

Due to each wines unique timeline, we typically focus on releasing one wine at a time. Once our winemaking team feels a wine is ready for release, we will send you a notification (by email + text message) with its release date, along with an in-depth look at each careful decision we made in crafting the wine.

Each release can be shipped directly to you, or can be picked up at our Woodinville Tasting Room + Farm located here.

Each member has a login at our website, which empowers you to increase your allocation or edit your shipment information.

Each release is incredibly special for us, and it's a joy to share the wines with you. By becoming a First Access member, you will never miss a vintage.
