AboutQuilceda Creek
Quilceda Creek began in 1978, when Alex and Jeannette Golitzin founded the winery in Snohomish, north of Seattle. Alex’s uncle, André Tchelistcheff, advised the young winery. Alex and Jeannette’s son Paul joined as winemaker in 1992. Cabernet Sauvignon from the Columbia Valley is the winery’s focus, drawing on long-standing relationships with individual vineyards.
