4 Signature Wines and Wineries of Washington winery. Having grown up around the cellars and wine presses, Keely learned how important generational winemaking is from Gary Figgins and today ensures that Boudreaux wines will endure for generations to come. Located four miles off the power grid, Boudreaux Cellars is the only Washington winery that's 100-percent self-powered. Here, nature plays an integral role in the winemaking process. The 200-barrel cellar is housed completely underground and allows for consistent cool temperatures and an extended barreling period of two to three years—giving the wine extra time to rest before bottling. Gravity transports wines from the press to the barrel, and the entire process combines modern technology with Old-World tried-and-true techniques. When guests arrive at the winery on Icicle Road, they're greeted by the local granite stone façade of the winery. Majestic trees and spectacular views make visiting the winery's tasting room a destination worth experiencing. Boudreaux Cellars is open by appointment only, though, so visitors are encouraged to plan TOP LEFT: Caylan Haehl racking wines and cleaning barrels on the crush pad at Boudreaux Cellars Photograph by Rob Newsom BELOW LEFT: Our all female bottling team handles the bottling line at the winery.

At the Boudreaux Tasting Room in Leavenworth, though, no appointment is needed. Guests can enjoy a little piece of the French Quarter at the Leavenworth tasting room, where gaslights, a zinc-topped bar, and big bottles of Boudreaux wines provide ambiance and a chance to sample Boudreaux Cellars' award-winning wines.
