Guardian Cellars

Historic winery rooted in community and storytelling

Best known for: Bold reds and rich whites from Washington

Founded in 2004 by Jerry Riener, a former police officer, and Jennifer Sullivan, a reporter, Guardian Cellars has become a celebrated name in Washington wine.

Known for its bold reds and rich whites, the winery sources grapes from some of the state's top vineyards, including Conner Lee and StoneTree. Their flagship Bordeaux blend, Gun Metal, highlights the unique terroir of Eastern Washington.
