Novelty Hill Winery

is an acclaimed Washington winery founded in 2000 by the Alberg family with a vision of showcasing the remarkable potential of their estate-grown fruit from Stillwater Creek Vineyard on the Royal Slope. When the family sought advice on developing their vineyard, they partnered with renowned Washington winemaker Mike Januik, whose expertise helped shape the winery from its earliest days. Together they created a winery dedicated to producing elegant, estate-driven wines that reflect the unique soils and climate of the Columbia Valley. Today, Novelty Hill shares a state-of-the-art winery and tasting destination with Januik Winery, offering visitors a modern, welcoming setting where exceptional hospitality and outstanding wines come together.

The winery is best known for its estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, and distinctive red blends crafted primarily from Stillwater Creek Vineyard. More than a dozen grape varieties thrive across the vineyard’s diverse soils and exposures, allowing each wine to express balance, purity, and regional character. Careful vineyard management, sustainable farming practices, and meticulous winemaking techniques ensure consistently high-quality wines with depth and elegance. Guided tastings introduce guests to both signature wines and limited-production releases while highlighting the unique qualities of the estate vineyard.

Beyond its wines, Novelty Hill Winery offers beautiful indoor and outdoor tasting spaces, seasonal events, and an engaging wine club that welcomes enthusiasts throughout the year. Whether enjoying a relaxing afternoon, exploring estate-grown wines, or celebrating with friends, every visit reflects the winery’s dedication to craftsmanship, sustainability, and the enduring excellence of Washington winemaking.
