Cloudlift Cellars

Cloudlift Cellars is a winery based in Seattle, Washington, with a tasting room open Saturdays and Sundays from 12-5 PM. Founded by Tom Stangeland, who began his wine education in Avignon, France, Cloudlift produces wines designed to complement food. Their philosophy emphasizes creating blends that showcase the unique characteristics of different varietals, resulting in balanced wines with sufficient acidity and lower alcohol levels. This approach is reflected in their wine names, such as Updraft and Ascent, which evoke a sense of elevation and harmony. Tom's background as a chef and furniture maker informs his winemaking style, which prioritizes craftsmanship and attention to detail. Cloudlift sources grapes from talented growers across the state, carefully tracking the fruit from set to harvest to ensure optimal ripeness. The winery is committed to doing everything well, with a focus on quality and excellence in every aspect of their operations. When not making wine, Tom involves his family in the process, gathering them for harvest activities and enjoying meals together amidst the vineyard's rustic atmosphere.
