Handcrafted Italian Wines in Battle Ground, WA
At Dolio Winery, we are dedicated to crafting exceptional Italian varietal wines that reflect our passion for simplicity and quality. Established in 2012, our family-owned winery combines generations of agricultural experience with formal oenology training from Washington State University to produce wines that let the grapes speak for themselves. Our philosophy centers on minimal intervention, using carefully selected aging vessels and Washington-grown grapes to create distinctive flavor profiles that pair perfectly with everyday meals. We opened our tasting room in 2015 to share our award-winning wines and winemaking knowledge directly with guests, offering personalized experiences where visitors can chat with the winemaker and enjoy curated wine pairings. Our commitment to quality has led us to source premium red varietals from Eastern Washington while maintaining rigorous standards for both estate-grown and blended wines.Through our wine club and special events, we cultivate a community of enthusiasts who appreciate our dedication to traditional methods and innovative experimentation. Every bottle we produce embodies our belief that great wine should enhance life's moments, whether enjoyed with family dinners or special celebrations. We maintain transparency in our processes and prioritize customer education, ensuring every visitor understands the care behind our craft. Our facility accommodates both intimate tastings and larger groups by reservation, creating welcoming spaces for wine exploration. This enduring commitment to quality, education, and hospitality continues to guide our winemaking journey.

We love going to Dolio! Don and Pam are so friendly and inviting. Its always a pleasant and wonderful experience going here. Their Italian style wines are wonderful and creative. The Blaze Cabernet Sauvignon aged in bourbon barrels is one that showcases creativity. Primitivo and Harmony are a couple of our favorites.

We wanted to enjoy a lovely drive in the country. By chance we happened upon Dolio Winery, what a wonderful surprise! We went in for a tasting and enjoyed a friendly visit with Don the owner and learned about the wine we were tasting. We of course could not resist bringing home a couple bottles of delightful wine. We will be back!
