Mike and Karen believe a glass of wine should take you on a journey, with one sip the story of its and its people unfolds.
MIKE WADE ⎯ WINEMAKER
Mike Wade crushed the first vintage of Fielding Hills Winery in 2000. With his first vintage, Mike was named Rising Star winemaker of Washington State by Wine Spectator. Since then, for nearly two decades, the family-owned estate winery has earned a rock-solid reputation as a world-class wine producer.
The first vintage produced 400 cases; after two vintages Mike doubled that number to 800 in 2002. With continued consumer demand, Mike increased to 1,200 cases in 2011. Fall of 2013 saw the first Malbec crushed off of Riverbend Estate Vineyard. Crush in 2014 was at Fielding Hill’s new winery and tasting room in Chelan Washington. At this new facility, production has again doubled with grapes crushed to produce 2,400+ cases. With the move to Chelan and an increase in production, Fielding Hills hired its first employee Assistant Winemaker Tyler Armour. Together, Mike and Tyler work to create a stand-alone product that reflects their passion.
