Tanjuli - New Winery Built in Yakima Valley

Tom Campbell, the Tanjuli winemaker/owner with over 30 years of wine making experience, has built his new winery in the Rattlesnake Hills AVA of the Yakima Valley. Trained at the U.C. Davis School of viticulture, he worked in the California wine industry in the Sonoma Valley, Edna Valley and Temucula after graduating setting up wineries and planting vineyards. He worked as the enologist at Chateau Ste. Michelle's Grandview Winery for many years and built and operated Horizons Edge Winery from 1983-1985.
Currently he is the founder and winemaker of Mission Mountain Winery located on the shore of Flathead Lake in Dayton, Montana. In Washington State. He is the Director Of Wine Production for Woodhouse Family Cellars in Woodenville WA. Tom crafted their flagship wine, Darighe ( “red” in Gaelic), a Boudeaux style red in 1998, which lead to the creation of Woodhouse Family Cellars in 2004.

Tanjuli Winery is
built into the side of a hill. The large building will house the production, wine barrels and the tasting room. There are plans for an outside picnicking space and live music performances and there is plenty of parking.

Tanjuli Wines are sold only at the winery, the Yakima Valley Visitor Information Center, and special events.
