For over 125 years, Mercers have been stewards of the same land in Washington’s Horse Heaven Hills. We got our start in livestock and row crops. In 1972, we planted the first wine grapes in the acclaimed Horse Heaven Hills AVA. Now, our diversified operations span a 12,000 acre farm along the Columbia River.
At Mercer Ranches, we consider ourselves Agriculturalists. More than viticulturists or farmers, agriculturalists are modern experts in the field of agriculture. We are stewards of our land, caring for and enhancing its’ environmental and social value, always striving to provide a life more abundant for all. Utilizing all available knowledge and technology, we create harmony in the ecosystem of our farm, and produce wines that demonstrate the unique terroir of the Horse Heaven Hills with a sense of balance. – Rob Mercer
