The Lawrence family, founders of Gård Vintners, has been farming the Royal Slope, near Royal City, Wash., in Washington's Columbia Valley for over 45 years. Brothers Hervey "Sandy" Lawrence and John Lawrence, along with John's son Josh Lawrence, were proud to launch Gård Vintners, a product of Lawrence Cellars, in 2006 to capture the quality of our estate vineyard in the glass. Gård, meaning "farm" or "estate" in many of the Scandinavian languages, is a tribute to our family's Scandinavian heritage. On a journey to make the magnificent Washington estate wine.
