In the winery’s own words, via the Walla Walla Valley Wine Alliance member profile:

Acclaimed actor Kyle MacLachlan has brought indelible charm and a quirky sophistication to some of film and television’s most memorable roles. Since 2005, Kyle has channeled his interest in wine into a second, equally satisfying professional pursuit.

What began as a love for his home state and a desire to stay connected to family has become a dedication to the craft of winemaking. A native of Yakima, Washington, Kyle grew up in close proximity to the vineyards where his grapes are now grown. He is involved in every aspect of Pursued by Bear, including vineyard sourcing and blending selections with winemaker Daniel Wampfler and has become an unabashed evangelist for the unique flavors and characteristics of Washington state wines.

Appellations

  • Columbia Valley

    Our wines are the offspring of a partnership between two discerning palates. Kyle cut his teeth on fine old Bordeaux, then furthered his connoisseurship in the Napa Valley. So he aims to create bold yet agile Columbia Valley wines
