Our mission is to produce the highest quality wine possible at our San Juan Island destination winery. We use only the highest quality grapes, hand-picked from premium vineyards of the Yakima Valley and our own vineyard for the Madeleine Angevine and Siegerrebe. The grapes are uniquely crafted by our winemaker, Kurt Niznik, into award winning wines. Our winemaker would be pleased to answer any questions; contact him at sjvineyards@rockisland.com

SJV participated in and donated wines to a number of area fundraisers supporting our local Chamber of Commerce, Dollars for Scholars, Economic Development Council of Skagit County, Farestart program, Taste of the Nation (Foodline America).
