Our winery is tucked in grape vines, fruit orchards, and the rolling hills of Yakima Valley.

Freehand Cellars was designed for a way to expand upon our artistic expressions. Winemaking, as with architecture, are our art forms. Whether we are selecting grapes or sketching a new concept everything starts with our hands. Our inspirations are hand drawn and poured into every bottle we produce. The owners of Freehand Cellars are architects and artists, which make every detail as important as the other. From bottles, to building design, to tables, and tissue papers – it’s all important to Freehand. The owners have hand drawn many of the labels which are meant to take you on a trip around the words with sketches of buildings that inspire our winemaking and design elements throughout the tasting room. The design and aesthetic of the tasting room is just as important as the wine, which makes Freehand Cellars a winery in Yakima that stands out among the many.
