Our Story

Laurelhurst Cellars is a Seattle winery located in the Georgetown district just South of the stadiums downtown. The winery was established in 2004 by friends Greg Smallwood and Dave Halbgewachs in a basement in Laurelhurst. It did not take us long before we grew out of that space and moved the winery into a warehouse space in Georgetown. From the start our vision was to create wines that would stand alone, showcasing their personality as a result of unique soil, climate and vineyard management. Laurelhurst Cellars produces premium, hand crafted wines from Washington State. We are committed to quality. Producing wines from some of the most prized vineyards in Washington. We produce only small lots showcasing Washington’s unique terroir. Creating wines that remain true to their varietal character.

Our cellar practices of small-lot fermentation, gentle handling and hand selecting French oak barrels complement the dimensions of Laurelhurst Cellars wines.

“Great wine is a reflection of its origin” To this point our wines showcase the unique expression of our vineyards which include Boushey Vineyard, Klipsun Vineyard, Kiona Vineyard, Songbird Vineyard, Burgess Vineyard and Zephyr Vineyard. Each of these vineyards allow us to craft wines with unique vineyard and variatal characteristics with balance and elegance.

We invite you to experience our passion. Our wines are available directly from the winery or at select restaurants, wine shops and grocery stores in the Puget Sound area.

Our wines: Cabernet Sauvignon, Red Mountain Syrah, Boushey Vineyard Syrah, Boushey Vineyard Cabernet Franc, Petite Sirah and Laurus Nobilis (Bordeaux Style Blend of Merlot, Cabernet, Cabernet Franc & Petite Verdot).
