Our Story
Pioneering the Washington state wine industry since 1984, including ten years as head winemaker at Chateau Ste Michelle during a pivotal time in the Washington wine industry, Mike Januik founded Januik Winery with wife Carolyn in 1999 premised on a devotion to quality and the exemplification of Columbia Valley as a premier grape growing region in the world. Developing a relationship with the Alberg-Beck family in 2000 as they were looking to plant what would become the Novelty Hill estate vineyard, Stillwater Creek Vineyard, Novelty Hill – Januik Winery naturally evolved as two separately owned wineries sharing one facility and winemaking team.
As family-owned wineries, Mike and Carolyn have granted their sons Andrew and Donald the privilege of being a part of the winery for more than two decades. Both sons work at an operational level, Andrew as Winemaker and Donald as Director of Hospitality. In addition, the Alberg-Beck family works closely with the Januiks to guide the direction of each winery, their family providing support to this passion every step of the way
In 2007, Novelty Hill – Januik Winery finished development of the facility they are in to this day Beyond making world renowned wine, NH-J proudly has a tasting room open seven days a week and hosts an array of private events, from birthday parties and retirement dinners, to weddings and large-scale employee celebrations The winery is guided by a love for wine, food, community and remarkable experiences.
