Mission Mountain Winery

Mission Mountain Winery began as a vineyard in the beautiful Dayton valley at the mouth of Dayton creek where it enters Flathead Lake's west shore. First planted in 1979, the vineyard has been and continues to be a grand experiment in finding suitable grape varieties for this northern banana belt of western Montana. Many varieties have been exposed to the harsh reality of the short growing season that starts in May and ends in early October. The cold winter ,occasionally -20 F eliminates those that are not cold hardy and of those varieties that are cold hardy have eliminated those that do not ripen in this short season. Pinot noir, pinot gris, chardonnay and gewurztraminer seem to fit the criteria for commercial success in this vineyard site.
