For me, wine is a journey with every sip and bottle, vividly reflecting its unique origin. Each glass is an adventure, inviting you to discover new tastes and experiences, and an exploration into the intricate craftsmanship and diverse terroirs shaping each vintage. It is deeply personal, embodying the passion, dedication, and vision of its maker, forging a profound, intimate connection with the drinker while fostering community and bringing people together to share in the delight, stories, and celebrations it inspires. I would love to connect with you on your personal journey, your adventures, your explorations, and invite you to join the community of fellow adventurers and explorers at Samā Cellars! - Chaitanya Bangur (Chaz), Owner & Winemaker

Samā Cellars, a family-owned Washington state boutique winery, is the vision of a first-generation Indian immigrant, Chaitanya Bangur (Chaz), who brings a unique perspective to the local wine scene. We pride ourselves on producing small batch wines, crafted meticulously from grapes sourced from some of the most iconic, family-run, and sustainably farmed vineyards in the region. Our winemaker’s dedication to quality, tradition, and sustainability is reflected in every bottle, ensuring that each wine truly embodies the essence of the terroir.

We primarily focus on Rhône varietals, a choice that highlights the versatility and potential of these varietals set against the unique and diverse terroir of Washington's vineyards. These varietals, known for their rich and complex profiles, are expertly nurtured to produce wines that are both expressive and reflective of their origin, balanced, and food friendly.  This focus not only allows us to honor the heritage of the Rhône region but also showcase the diversity and adaptability of Washington's wine country, making Samā Cellars a standout newcomer in the state's vibrant wine industry.

We are also deeply committed to introducing the vibrant local Indian community to the rich wine culture of Washington State. Through our events, tastings, and gatherings, we hope to celebrate our unique heritage and promote the diverse and inclusive spirit of Washington's wine industry. Through Samā Cellars, we look to build a community that bridges cultural gaps and create a space where wine can be a shared experience, enriching social and cultural interactions.
