We make a small production of sought-after wines, selected intentionally for their merit and potential. Washington State produces some of the finest grapes in the country, and we source from renowned vineyards. We create wines that represent our style with authentic varietal character, resulting in the highest quality we strive for each day.
WE STARTED THIS JOURNEY IN 1999 WITH A FEW TONS OF GRAPES IN A FRIEND’S GARAGE.
That first vintage sold out quickly, and to say it has been a wild ride is an understatement. Looking back, we never could have guessed where we would land – with critical acclaim abounding, the 14th largest winery in Washington state with national and international availability, and welcoming tasting rooms in Woodinville and Walla Walla.
“When I decided to do it, there was no stopping. Once you start, it’s like running down hill – you have to keep going and figure stuff out as you go.”
— Mark Ryan McNeilly
OUR DEDICATION TO PRODUCING THE HIGHEST QUALITY WINES IS UNCOMPROMISING. WE ARE AUTHENTIC, INTENTIONAL, AND APPROACHABLE.
Always be authentic. Enjoy the ride. Surround yourself with good people. Invest in community – all boats will rise in the tide. Be vigilant. Give people our best. Maintain a ridiculous commitment to quality.
We are a handful of people working to create the best wine possible, every vintage – this mission remains unchanged since 1999.
We are serious about our winemaking and we’re serious about those who come to imbibe with us, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We welcome all to our wine club, tasting rooms and to our family of wines.
WE LOVE WASHINGTON STATE
Established in 1999 in Woodinville, Washington, by Mark Ryan McNeilly, Mark Ryan Winery is an acclaimed Washington winery. McNeilly is a largely self-taught winemaker, having crushed and produced his first vintages in garages of friends and family. In the years since its founding, the winery has grown in size, earning respect and acclaim from both wine lovers and critics. In 2017, production shifted from Woodinville to Walla Walla, allowing tasting rooms to open in both cities and helping Mark Ryan become the 14th largest winery in Washington. McNeilly introduced his Board Track Racer line in 2008 and established Megan Anne Cellars, which showcases Oregon pinot noir, in 2016. The Mark Ryan wine family continues to expand and now includes the Lu & Oly, Flowerhead, Board Track Racer, NumbSkull, Underground Wine Project and Mark Ryan Winery brands.
From the first vintage onward, Mark has been a champion of Washington wines. Having made significant contributions to the Washington wine community, McNeilly has helped establish Washington as a prominent U.S. wine region.
Specializing on Red Mountain. We produce wine from grapes grown in the high desert, on a very warm site. They are big-shouldered wines that we coax a great amount of finesse and elegance.
We utilize specific vineyard sites to create our style, and have continued adding a portfolio of the most sought-after vineyards in Horse Heaven Hills, Yakima Valley, and Columbia Valley.
