The Winery Family
Amavi Cellars is led by the Goff, McKibben and Pellet families. Catch a glimpse of our team here!
The first person you will probably meet when you visit or call the winery is Patty Lynch, who manages our tasting room and Coin Club. You will find information on the owners below.
Patty Lynch, Tasting Room & Coin Club Manager
Having spent most of my lifetime here in this valley, it still amazes me how our wine industry has revitalized and changed this community. As a girl, I spent most of the spring and summer months working on various wheat, apple and pea ranches, and I know the rich bounty that comes from what is now known as the Walla Walla Valley Appellation.
I have had the pleasure of being the tasting room manager here at Amavi since our doors opened in 2003. It is wonderful working for a small, family-owned winery that produces such high quality, highly-rated wines.
Please put Walla Walla on your travel schedule and visit us in our log cabin tasting room. However, if you do not have the opportunity to do so, please enjoy this “virtual” visit. We have designed this website and online store to be as user-friendly as possible. If you encounter any problems or would simply prefer to place your order with a “real” person, feel free to contact me at patty@amavicellars.com.
