Are you ready for a sparkling opportunity? We are on a journey to establish Amista as the premier sparkling wine house in Dry Creek Valley.

We continue to add sparkling wines to our portfolio of single-vineyard wines and have the perfect complement of wines for celebrating all of life's special moments. We are looking for a proven leader to help make sparkling and Rhone wines the centerpieces for our next phase of growth.

Amista Vineyards is a boutique winery currently making 2,800 cases, sold directly through our tasting room, wine club and web site.
