About the Winery:

Owned by Robert Gomez and his wife Bri, Hoquetus is a tiny vineyard in the Walla Walla Valley producing wines of lightness and complexity. After beginning his wine journey in service, Robert blazes his own path with his wines; focusing on fresh, lower alcohol wines. 

As co-owner and chief winemaker, Robert’s faced his fair share of challenges; Covid, wildfires, heat waves, and economic uncertainty have made his wines all the more impressive. Perhaps most exciting is his focus on his customers; he’s open in his views stating that his favourite part of the job is making and opening a bottle of wine that people find delicious and pleasurable!!
