Skylite Cellars

<p>Skylite Cellars is a boutique family owned and operated winery in Walla Walla Valley. Beginning as a vineyard, Charles R. Nelson planted Skylite Vineyard 2000.<br />
“Chuck”, a native to the Walla Walla Valley, was born into a farming family in 1926. His world travels began in 1944 and for the next 60+ years he overfilled his home with marvels from around the globe. Now, in early his 80’s, still quite the adventurer, he has returned to farming and opened an art gallery! Century old skylites were discovered when renovating the historic Quinn building for the gallery. “Skylite Gallery” was opened in fall 2004. Chucks lovely new vineyard was christened “Skylite” during the first crush, fall 2005. We honor him now with our new adventure, “Skylite Cellars”. Skylite vines were planted in 2000, where we produce Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah.</p>
