Trust Cellars

is a boutique Washington winery founded by former CNN journalist Steve Brooks, whose passion for bringing people together inspired a new chapter in Walla Walla winemaking. After nearly two decades covering stories around the world, Brooks chose to create wines that celebrate meaningful conversations, memorable meals, and the traditions shared around the table. Drawing inspiration from lively family gatherings and the belief that great wine strengthens connections, Trust Cellars was established with a commitment to producing handcrafted wines that reflect both exceptional vineyard sites and authentic hospitality. Visitors are welcomed into an intimate tasting experience where every bottle tells a story of craftsmanship, friendship, and the simple joy of sharing wine with others.

The winery specializes in small-lot wines crafted from premier Washington vineyards, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Riesling, and thoughtfully blended red wines. Minimal intervention winemaking allows each vineyard and varietal to express its natural character, resulting in balanced wines with vibrant fruit, refined structure, and remarkable elegance. Careful fruit selection, patient aging, and meticulous cellar practices ensure every vintage reflects the unique terroir of Washington’s celebrated wine regions. Guided tastings introduce guests to the winery’s philosophy while highlighting the stories behind each handcrafted release.

Beyond its wines, Trust Cellars offers a welcoming environment where guests can slow down, connect with family and friends, and create lasting memories. Whether enjoying a tasting, joining the wine club, or discovering limited-production releases, every visit reflects the winery’s dedication to quality, hospitality, and the enduring tradition of sharing exceptional Washington wines.
