About

Upsidedown Wine is a Washington State winery founded by Seth and Audrey Kitzke, specializing in native-yeast fermentations, neutral oak aging, and unfiltered expressions of Washington wines from regions like Candy Mountain AVA and Red Mountain. They operate a tasting room in a restored 1920s grocery store in Cle Elum, WA, and donate 20% of net proceeds to non-profits like A21 and the National Kidney Foundation. SLOW certified, they focus on low-intervention winemaking.
