Industry recognition for our Columbia Valley wines is the “cherry on top” for our family-owned food company. “We hope to put the best of the Pacific Northwest front and center for our customers and visitors to the region,” says Founder Pam Montgomery. "This means showcasing not only local cherries but amazing Columbia Valley wines."
Each vintage is a chance to select wines that represent the Columbia Valley AVA and pair well with Chukar's famous chocolate cherries and all-natural dried cherries. The Pacific Northwest, with its vast farmlands and abundant natural resources is a food lover’s dream. The awards are confirmation of what Chukar has always known—there is no better pairing than Chukar Cherries & Columbia Valley wine.
The public can taste the winning wines daily in Chukar Cherries’ tasting room at our Prosser, WA headquarters.
