Bergevin Lane Winery, Walla Walla Washington
Bergevin Lane Winery is one of my favorite Washington state wineries. Annette Bergevin's family have been Washington state residents since the 1800s. So in 2001, when she was burned out from what she's described as the "rat race" of California, Bergevin and her partner Amber Lane approached Gary Bergevin, Annette's father about a winery business. Gary Bergevin had more than twenty years experience in various facets of wine making, including experience in the vineyard and in terms of the business of wine making. In early 2001 the three founded Bergavin Lane Vineyards. The winery officially opened for business in May of 2003, with a corporate office in downtown Walla Walla, Washington.
