Our Story

Rita Jorgensen had a vision when she moved to Yakima Washington and that was to develop a business she always dreamed of. While Plaza Winery started in the YVCC campus in Grandview she decided to open a tasting room and restaurant, due to not having foot traffic in Grandview. While in this place is we Plaza Winery became a name to a lot of fellow neighbors who we now call friends. In April of 2009 Plaza Winery moved from the Incubator campus to the wine makers loft at 357 Port Ave in Prosser. This is when she realized that wine was her passion and the interaction of not only Yakima natives but the whole state loved her wine. When she passed away in August of 2009 it was decided by her True Love Bryan and her Son Kevin to keep her spirit alive and this is the true reason of this winery still going strong today.
We have now bottled our Super Tuscan Wine which is a blend of Sangiovese from Chateau Champoux vineyard and the cabernet sauvignon From coyote Canyon vineyard. This was the First wine we sold out of in the first year of business which also won three awards. We are constantly looking to see what the customer wants, and how we can provide it to anywhere in the state or country in that matter. We just want to keep people happy.
Plaza Winery has wines that are from the same vineyards as wineries in Walla Walla but for the fraction of the price.
