Our Winemaker

Basel Cellars is now going into its seventh year of business. Business is great and production is increasing. As we continue to grow, we are pleased to introduce you to Justin Basel. Justin has been assisting in the winery for the past year and is closing in on completing his education in the Enology and Viticulture program at Walla Walla Community College. Justin is a passionate and exciting person. He has a fantastic palate and has come on board with Basel Cellars to continue to produce award winning wines for you.
Growing up in our Estate vineyard, Pheasant Run Vineyards, Justin knows Walla Walla Fruit and his education has opened him up to Washingtons fantastic agricultural opportunities. Justin brings excitement, curiosity and an aggressive and fresh attitude to Basel Cellars. We are very excited to have Justin join us.

"For some reason, people who are really passionate about quality have gravitated toward Walla Walla"
