Jett Wines Takes off in Walla Walla

“There’s this sense of openness when you’re at Skysill – the view of the sky and the land. I like that connection to nature.” – Gianna Ghilarducci, winemaker – Jett Wines

Forward-thinking and sustainably-focused Jackson Family Wines planted a stake in Washington State’s Walla Walla wine region in 2022, intent on crafting world-class Cabernet.

There, they planted Skysill vineyard, and founded Jett Wines.

As Gianna Ghilarducci, Jett Wines winemaker explains, “Our motivation for coming here is thinking towards the future, and exploring Cabernet in different places in the New World.”

Learn more about Jett Wines in my article entitled “Jett Wines Takes off in Walla Walla,” now available in the Summer 2025 issue of the quarterly print publication, Washington Tasting Room Magazine.

(You can find a copy of the print magazine in any Washington State winery tasting room or Barnes & Noble bookstore statewide.)

The Summer 2025 feature follows my previous article entitled “The Rising Tide,” published in the Washington Tasting Room Magazine Fall 2023 issue, highlighting prestigious California and Oregon wineries elevating Washington state wine.
