Founded in 2013, Three of Cups is a new winery based in the Artisan Hill area of Woodinville, WA producing limited quantities of premium Washington State wines. Three of Cups was formed by friends who share a passion for wine and food and wanted to expand that beyond our friends and family. The tarot card, Three of Cups, symbolizes conviviality, abundance, joy and friendship – all things that happen naturally with wine.
Three of Cups fruit comes from premium vineyards throughout Washington State including such places as Red Mountain and Walla Walla Valley. They strive to produce wines that express the very best of the regions they source from and pair well with food. All wines are produced in small batches, using predominately new French and stainless steel for whites, and have received great reviews and ratings for their initial vintages and subsequent releases.
