At the SavorNW Wine Awards held on February 25, Westport Winery’s four entries earned medals for Washington State’s westernmost vineyard and winery. According to the event coordinators, “This competition was designed to showcase Northwest wines and promote awareness of Pacific Northwest wine regions with a professional, single-blind judging of wines.”
Swimmer’s Last Syrah, featuring winemaker Dana Roberts as a young competitive swimmer, earned a gold medal, while Duckleberry Grunt, Rapture of the Deep and Elk River Riesling all brought home silver medals. These award-winning wines, along with 33 others, are available for tasting daily. Each of these wines benefits a local charity and is commemorated in the winery’s garden with sculptures created by local artist.
Westport Winery, Restaurant, Bakery and Nursery are open daily at 11a.m. The winery is open for lunch daily from 11 am. to 4 pm. and for dinner on Friday and Saturday evenings from 4 p.m. to 8.p.m. The winery with its unique grape maze, extraordinary outdoor sculpture and display garden is located on the corner of Highway 105 and South Arbor Road halfway between Westport and Aberdeen.
