Amavi Cellars

Amavi Cellars signifies love (amor) and life (vita) through their wines, which are 100% estate, 100% Certified Sustainable, and 100% Walla Walla Valley. They are dedicated to producing estate grown wines that showcase the distinct personality of Washington’s Walla Walla Valley.

Amavi’s estate vineyards: Les Collines, Seven Hills, Pepper Bridge, Octave, Goff, and Summit View, produces some of the most sought-after fruit in the state. Vineyards are all farmed sustainably by building up the soil’s health rather than depleting it and seeking out earth-friendly alternatives to fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. 

Winemaker Jean-François Pellet is a third-generation wine grower born and raised in Switzerland. Working alongside his father, who has managed the same vineyard for 30 years, Jean-François always knew what he wanted to do with his life: make world-class wine. His experience and reputation for meticulous winemaking in Switzerland and Spain brought him to Napa Valley, where he worked for four years.

Amavi’s Les Collines vineyard was named “Vineyard of the Year” at the Washington Wine Awards (2015)
