In the heart of a quiet neighborhood in Kennewick, located in the Southeast region of Washington, Tri Cities native Steve Sauer brings an easy vibe and a sense of passion to Farmhand Winery. Working in the family orchard since he was a young boy, Steve has a deep connection to the land and immense respect for this valuable resource.  His sensibility and farming expertise enrich his passion for growing grapes and producing wines in the world renown Columbia Valley.

Steve’s label is as unique as the winemaker himself.  It is an important reminder of his humble beginnings and the dedication it takes to produce great fruit in this region.  As an 7 year old, he was too young to prune trees, but not too young to trap gophers in the orchard, hence the three fingers. We invite you to visit the tasting room, where often the winemaker will be available to share the rest of the story.
