Kana is a native word for the spirit or the fire within a mountain, in reference to the perceived supernatural power of volcanic activity. The Yakima and Columbia Valleys are awash with volcanic soil influences, providing terroir from the millennia of "Kana" escaping from nearby volcanic mountains, to lay resting as soil for our world-class vineyards.

Kana Winery wines are the result of the careful selection of fruit from the very best vineyards, with emphasis on Rhone varietals along with specially selected wines from single vineyards that express a sense of "place". Taking the magic from the vineyard to your table is Kana Winery's mission, which, combined with our passion for winemaking excellence, we hope will enrich your lives and your dining experience.
