White Raven Winery

White Raven Winery is a Columbia Falls, Montana producer owned and operated by born-and-raised Montanans, including owner Dan Murphy. After spending a decade running a mobile wine bottling business in California and visiting hundreds of wineries, Murphy returned to his hometown to make wine from grapes that can survive the region's harsh winters. He discovered cold-hardy Vitis Riparia varieties in 2014, bought the winery property in 2017, and opened the tasting room and cellar in 2021. The winery sits near the base of Columbia Mountain, minutes from the west entrance to Glacier National Park. Its young vineyard lies five miles south in a weather eddy of the Canyon, in the shadow of Columbia Mountain at 3,390 feet elevation. The site is planted to Marquette, Sabrevois, Brianna, Somerset, and Petite Pearl on Vitis Riparia rootstock, trained high cordon, and farmed sustainably with visible ground cover between the rows. Most wines are made on-site from Montana grapes. Visitors can taste by the glass or sample a flight in the tasting room, and the space is available for private events.
