About us

​

We acquired Northwest Cellars in 2023 driven by a simple belief—wine is a bridge that brings people together and creates moments that connect us. What better reason to buy a winery?

​

The beginning of 2026 brought new clarity and focus. We made the decision to close the Kirkland tasting room and change our name to French Canyon Cellars. We wanted our winery's name to reflect where we live and what we’re building.

​

We moved to Tieton in 2020 to a small farm at the mouth of French Canyon. From the moment we arrived, this place began to shape us. French Canyon Farms was born. Friendships were born and continue to blossom. Community took on a richer meaning than we ever imagined. Through gatherings and events, we’ve watched connections with our land, community, and people deepen. Bringing our tasting room to the Yakima Valley is the next, natural step in strengthening our bond to this land, our home, and our wines.​

​

At our core, we believe wine should be enjoyed, shared and never feel intimidating. Our wines are delicious, approachable, and made for real life. Whether you’re celebrating something big, hosting friends, or enjoying a quiet evening at home, our bottles are meant for every moment.

Cheers,
Shelley & Dean Sleeper + family!
