About
Perennial Vintners is a winery on Bainbridge Island, WA, specializing in delicate wines from the maritime-influenced cool climate viticulture of the Puget Sound AVA. They have pioneered the cultivation of the underappreciated grape Melon de Bourgogne (known as Muscadet in France) in the Seattle area. Founded by Mike Lempriere in 1997 as a hobby, they planted their vineyard in 2003 and released their first commercial vintage in March 2007.
