EAGLEMOUNT WINE & CIDER

What EAGLEMOUNT WINE & CIDER does

Eaglemount Wine & Cider is a family-owned artisan winery and cidery operating from a 12-acre mixed farm and woodland property known as Arcadia on the Olympic Peninsula near Port Townsend, Washington. Founded officially in 2006 by Jim and Trudy Davis, the company crafts wines, hard ciders, and meads using heirloom apple varieties from a homestead orchard planted in 1883 (22 varieties including Gravenstein, Winesap, White Pippin, Roxbury Russet, and Twenty Ounce), supplemented by grapes sourced from Eastern Washington vineyards (Arianses Vineyard in Wahluke Slope, The Benches/Wallula Gap in Horse Heaven Hill, Wautoma Springs in Columbia Valley). Production is aging-intensive, utilizing French, American, and Eastern European oak barrels in an underground cellar; signature products include the Eaglemount Red blend, single-varietal wines (Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Malbec, Chardonnay, Petite Sirah), specialty ciders (the only commercially available Quince Cider plus Ginger Cider and Rhubarb Cider), meads fermented with local Olympic Peninsula honey, and port-style dessert wines made from custom-distilled brandy.

The business operates a multi-revenue-stream model combining direct-to-consumer beverage sales, hospitality, events, and lodging. Primary revenue streams include tasting room sales ($15/person guided tasting), the three-tiered Wine/Cider/Mead Club with quarterly recurring shipments, Palindrome Event Space rentals ($1,500–$6,000 wedding packages; 250-person capacity), Historic Arcadia Inn lodging via AirBnB, online sales through Vinoshipper, three weekly farmers market presences (Port Townsend, Ballard, Sequim), and wholesale distribution to Pacific Northwest retailers and restaurants across the Olympic Peninsula, Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Everett, and Bellingham. Customer segments span individual wine/cider enthusiasts, wine club subscribers, wedding and event planners, concert/event attendees, retail and restaurant partners, and wine-country tourists. The company has no institutional funding, operates with 1–10 employees, and has accumulated 25+ regional and national awards between 2012 and 2017 (Seattle Wine Awards, SIP Magazine Best of Northwest, Sunset Magazine World's Best Bottles, New York Times feature).

Strategically, Eaglemount has chosen depth over scale: leveraging a heritage orchard asset that cannot be replicated, building a destination-experience model that fuses production, retail, lodging, and events on a single property, and specializing in hard-to-replicate niche SKUs (Quince Cider, heirloom varietals). Distribution is deliberately regional rather than national, with brand awareness concentrated in the Pacific Northwest through press features and consistent award recognition.
