Januik Winery
Washington’s Most Prestigious Vineyards
- FOUNDED 1999 -
Since his first Columbia Valley harvest in 1984, acclaimed winemaker Mike Januik has led in Washington wine quality and innovation. Januik is dedicated to crafting high quality, limited release wines by working on a small scale with fruit from the state’s best vineyards and concentrating on the details of winemaking, from fermentation through blending, that transform winemaking from a science to an art.

When Mike established his own Washington winery in 1999, he developed a short list of vineyards he considered to be among the state’s best. These are the sites.
Mike Januik, Winemaker
When Mike Januik started making wines 35 years ago, Washington wines were largely undiscovered. Only a handful of winemakers were blazing a trail here. Mike Januik was one of them.

Meet the Januiks
In the late 1970s, Mike and Carolyn Januik owned a wine shop in Ashland, Oregon that piqued Mike’s interest in winemaking. Sons Donald and Andrew were born shortly thereafter and both have early memories of long afternoons in the cellar with their dad.
By the time the Januiks started their own winery in 1999, the boys were in high school, working summers in the cellar. Fast-forward 20 years. Now Mike can no longer imagine harvest without them. And Carolyn, who’s worn every hat at the winery except winemaking, continues to keep them on course.
