History
In 1959, the original BIG PAPA moved from Chicago to Seattle for a visit. He wanted to make wine like his family, he bought a wine press and several months later he was officially starting his own wine business. His kids Daniel (current BIG PAPA) and Russell were at their dads side learning the tricks of the wine trade. What started as a small press production and rustic gallon jogs has grown in to beautiful bottles with labels. The Ferrelli family, the Smith family and the Taylors all helped made EFESTE what it is. We are terrior driven in our wine making and the family is very much involved. Stop by to taste the wines and maybe you will see Daniel behind the bar, or Helen (his wife) in the kitchen making meatballs & pizza!
