Gouger Cellars Winery

Gouger Cellars Winery is a boutique winery located in Ridgefield, Washington, with a focus on crafting bold, expressive red wines. Founded by Gary Gougér in 2009, the winery began as a hobby-turned-passion project after his successful career as a pharmacist and optometrist. Gary earned a degree in Enology from the University of Adelaide in Australia in 2005, bringing a strong foundation in science to his winemaking endeavors. The winery has received international recognition, including gold medals in respected competitions, although Gary prioritizes creating wines that bring joy to customers rather than solely seeking awards. Gouger Cellars is known for its red wine offerings, with a focus on quality and balance. During the winter season, the winery closes but offers case sales by phone, and reopens in May with a limited schedule for the summer and fall seasons. The tasting experience typically includes Reubens, which have become a signature offering at the winery.
