KANPAI—CHEERS

Kanpai- Japanese for “cheers”. A simple word that means so much more to us. It means celebration. It means family and togetherness. It means sharing life with the people you love. We chose this word to represent our winery as a reminder of home, to honor our friends our family, and our heritage.

OUR WINES

We craft wines that are meant to be shared with loved ones and paired with food. Balanced, food-friendly, and age-worthy, our wines reflect Steve Matthiasson’s signature style.
