Kontos Cellars

From the wheat fields of Eastern Washington, inspiration for the dragonfly was handed to us by our own beautiful Walla Walla Valley. The dragonfly is a meaningful symbol to our families.  Representing change, our dragonfly has launched us into a life of crafting wonderful experiences and memories.

From the moment we began contemplating the dragonfly as our winery’s predominant image, we were inundated with dragonflies.  They would find us in the barrel room while topping off wine. They would find us in the middle of wheat harvest, 10 miles away from any reliable water source.  They seemed to come out of nowhere, wherever it was that we were and would inevitably find their way onto our label.

“A great winemaker will always remember a particular year by what was given to him, and what he did with it….In wine, and in life.”
