Zerba Cellars is a family-owned, estate winery located in the heart of the Walla Walla Valley. Zerba owns three estate vineyards in three of the appellation’s most exciting viticulture zones.  At Zerba Cellars they work with a wide range of grape varieties and vineyard sources. Each vineyard and grape variety has a unique character that contributes to the quality, complexity and balance of their individual wines. Each vineyard and grape variety is hand-crafted separately.  Zerba conducts rigorous blending trials that combine discipline and creativity to produce wines that are greater than the sum of their parts.

Zerba produces big, food friendly wines that showcase the fruit without compromising the wine's structure and overall balance. They have three estate vineyards in the Walla Walla Valley. Each was planted to take advantage of the Walla Walla Valley's unique soil types and elevations. Cockburn Hills is located in the Southeast corner of the valley, in the foothills of the Blue Mountains. Dad's Vineyard is located in the "Touchet Beds", near the state line. Winesap Road is located in the rocky floodplain of the Walla Walla River. Each of these sites has unique soils, elevations and exposures.
