Leonetti Cellar was founded in 1977 by Gary and Nancy Figgins. Gary’s vision to produce world-class wines in Walla Walla proved to set the standard for Washington wines, and Leonetti has continued to produce wines of consistently high quality ever since. Today, Leonetti Cellar produces some of the most sought after wines in the world.

Chris Figgins assumed the role of head winemaker in 2001, driven by the entrepreneurial spirit his parents instilled in him, and his quest for wine making perfection. Following Gary’s retirement in 2011, Chris was promoted to President & Winemaking Director. Together with his sister Amy, Chris is leading the charge for the next generation of the critically acclaimed winery and wine making family.
