The journey of 216 Miles to Go begins in 1999 when Mark McNeilly started making friends in the growing wine community of Woodinville. A vineyard owner on Red Mountain took a chance in offering an aspiring winemaker some of his most coveted Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and Mark hit the road in his 1987 Chevy Astrovan, traveling the 216 miles from Woodinville to the vineyards in eastern Washington.

Over two decades later, the voyage continues with the aptly named “216 Miles to Go”. The label encapsulates the essence of this odyssey - the roots tracing back to those humble beginnings crisscrossing the state to Red Mountain vineyards, and the vision to continue elevating Washington wines.

Mark created 216 Miles to Go to fulfill a bold dream of introducing our exciting to a wider audience of enthusiasts everywhere. To continue telling the story of our vineyards, our terroir, and our winemaking style.

216 Miles to Go is going places - an adventure ahead onto the wine lists and bar shelves of restaurants in Seattle, and Atlanta, and Dallas, and beyond.
