Kiona Vineyards and Winery is a family-run Washington producer established in 1975, when the family planted one of the first vineyards in the Columbia Valley and the first vineyard on Red Mountain. Now in its third generation, the family continues to work together on the farm, focusing on vineyard-driven wines that express the character of their Red Mountain and Columbia Valley estates. The area is especially noted for powerful, opulent wines, with Cabernet a leading variety on Red Mountain. Viticulture is led by Scott Williams.
