The Bunnell Family Cellar is a small family winery on the banks of the Yakima River. We produce limited amounts of handmade wines including vineyard designated Syrah, Mourvedre and Viognier. Our winemaker, Ron Bunnell, has over 25 years of experience in California and Washington and has worked with some of the most preeminent winemakers from California, France and Italy. Susan Bunnell assists Ron with winemaking duties, but also finds time to manage the wine company and her lavender and herb farm, www.lavenderthyme.net.

Winemaker Ron Bunnell
Ron Bunnell graduated from the University of California, Davis Viticulture and Enology Masters Program in 1983. He went to work in the Napa Valley for Charles Krug and afterward Beringer Vineyards. When Beringer bought Chateau Souverain, Ron relocated to Sonoma County as Assistant Winemaker. There he met his future wife, Susan. After seven years with the Beringer organization, Ron spent four years as a consulting winemaker for a number of start-up wineries. He joined Kendall-Jackson in 1996 where he worked in Monterey, Sonoma County and Santa Barbara. In 1999, Ron and Susan moved to Washington so that Ron could take the position of Head Red Winemaker for Chateau Ste. Michelle and Winemaker for the Col Solare project with Pierro Antinori. Five years later, the couple founded The Bunnell Family Cellar.
