In the summer of 2017, Port Townsend Vineyards opened its doors with a simple vision: to create wines that capture the beauty, creativity, and spirit of this coastal town we call home. Founded by longtime locals and crafted in collaboration with winemaker Ben Thomas, our winery was built from the ground up by friends, family, and neighbors who wanted to offer something truly local—something that feels like Port Townsend in a glass.
What began in 1792 as a safe harbor for sailors has become a gathering place for artists, makers, and dreamers. That same spirit of craftsmanship and curiosity guides everything we do. Our wines are shaped by salt air, maritime light, and the patient hands that tend every barrel—rooted in care, inspired by connection.
The Winery
Located on Sims Way, our production facility is the heart of Port Townsend Vineyards. Here, modern equipment meets old-world technique, and the hum of fermentation fills the air each harvest season. We work with small, sustainable growers from across Washington to handcraft wines that are expressive, balanced, and meant to be shared.
Guests are welcome to visit the winery year-round to taste, learn, and see where it all happens. From sparkling wines that celebrate our coastal climate to rich reds that showcase Eastern Washington fruit, every bottle begins its story here.
Vintage by Port Townsend Vineyards
Downtown in the historic C.F. Clapp Building, Vintage offers a relaxed, elegant space to explore our wines. It’s where locals and visitors alike come to unwind—whether for a casual glass on a quiet afternoon or live music and laughter on a weekend evening. Each visit feels a little different, but the heart of it is always the same: good wine, good people, and a sense of belonging.
Our Wines
We produce a thoughtful collection of sparkling and still wines that reflect both sides of our region—the cool, coastal air of Puget Sound and the sun-drenched vineyards of Eastern Washington. From crisp whites to soulful reds, every bottle tells a story of balance, patience, and place.
The Invitation
At Port Townsend Vineyards, we’re not just making wine—we’re building moments. We invite you to come taste, linger, and be part of our story. Whether at the Winery or at Vintage, each pour is an invitation to slow down, connect, and savor what makes Port Townsend so special.
