For years we've believed that Washington's Columbia Valley produces some of this country's finest grapes. Our "research" over the past 30 years in nearly every vineyard region in the US and Europe keeps us coming back to the natural character of Washington wines. They're a blend of the best elements of the new and old worlds: full, ripe fruit, yet textured for food and structured for longevity.
Our goal at Betz Family Winery is to craft compelling wines with individual character that reflect the vineyards the grapes come from and our dedication to them.
Since the late 1960s we've enjoyed countless hours studying how vintners grow their grapes and craft their wines. A year in the vineyards of Italy, France and Germany followed by numerous adventures throughout the US and other European vineyards have provided a perspective that we hope to bring to our winemaking.

Summer Fun!
A couple national critics have released their reviews of some recent and soon-to-be-released wines, and we're pretty excitied about their comments. See our "Acclaim Page" for a full recap, but here are a few highlights:
“Betz Family Winery remains a Washington benchmark for top quality Syrah and Bordeaux blends...." ---Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate
2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Pere de Famille: 97 Points, "The fragrance is almost otherworldly; sweet, dense and lightly lifted...."---The Wine Enthusiast
2006 Syrah La Côte Rousse: 95 Points, "...an array of aromas including bacon, sausage, spice box, smoke, pepper, and tar reminiscent of a Guigal La Landonne...." ---Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate
