Pharmacist/Winery Owner/Winemaker Tony Haralson’s interest in wine began at a young age. This is because of having family roots steeped in the French region of Burgundy.
He began making wine for 9 years prior to venturing into commercial winemaking, simultaneously completing the certificate program in winemaking at The University of California at Davis in 2008.
Tony and his wife, Linda, planted 5 acres of grapes in the upper Zillah hills in 2008. AntoLin Estate Vineyard consists of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Carménère and Riesling.
When not attending to AntoLin Cellars wines, Tony enjoys skiing, foraging for mushrooms, singing in musical organizations, riding motorcycles, learning other cultures, his dogs and spending quality time with his wife and winery Co-Owner, Linda.
About AntoLin Cellars:
The name “AntoLin” is a collective of the first names of winery owners Linda and Tony Haralson.
Their passion is winemaking and their dream is to share the fruits of that passion.
For years Tony and Linda Haralson worked on bringing their dream of opening a winery to life.
Developed from an interest in wine that was cultivated over almost a decade, the two worked together
to develop premium wines that are the centerpiece of AntoLin Cellars. They started the winery in 2009
and opened the current Tasting Room in 2015.
As local Washington residents, the Haralsons are invested in offering friends, old and new, the opportunity to experience high quality, expressive wines with equally appealing value and a sincere, personal approach.
Grapes are grown in the AntoLin Estate Vineyard which is in the verdant Yakima Valley AVA and is planted to Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Carménère.
AntoLin Cellars Tasting Room & Patio, Art Gallery and “The Train Station“ private event space, are all located at 14 N. Front St. This is on historic N. Front Street in downtown Yakima at the south end of the architecturally interesting Northern Pacific Railroad Depot complex built in 1909-1910.
