There is something magnificent and inviting about Spain. In Battle Ground, there is only one place you can find that something - Emanar Cellars Wine Tasting Room. Walk through the front door and you’ll find yourself at home in Madrid. Hints of the invitation are even mounted to the exterior walls. Complete but uncluttered decor offers a compelling and comfortable ambiance to taste, discover and visit.Mar grew up in Madrid. Her family and childhood memories are there. She is not just passionate about Spanish culture, she lives the culture of Spain. She and Richard share a mutual taste for Spanish wine and culture. They’ve been nurturing their interest and passion for many years by immersing themselves in an informal wine education including classes at UC Davis, vineyard tours through Portland Community College and consultations with an advisor at Washington State University Vancouver.
Richard and Mar attended to every detail to create a warm and accurate cultural experience. Whether you are a native Spaniard or wish you could visit, you’ll find satisfaction at Emanar. Every detail tells a story. Every nuance is considered carefully and joyfully as part of the experience they offer.
The shape of their wine glasses is suited specifically to the type of wine they are used for and they are made with titanium instead of lead. The wafers that are part of their tastings come from a 300 year old recipe. The crackers were discovered on a wine tour but are hard to find any where else in the area. Their flamenco dancer came to them from Spain through Hong Kong and China. The wrought iron is hand crafted by a local artisan. The tiles, plaques and pictures each tell a story. Just ask and listen - you’ll find yourself washed in Spanish culture and the enthusiasm of its proponents.
As self-professed aficionados, the Meyerhoefer’s are new connoisseurs. The joy they find in the wine experience is infectious and inviting. Whether you are a snob or a newbie, you will be welcome at Emanar Cellars. Their adventure of discovery has produced a place where your discoveries and theirs can be shared.
Emanar will be serving three of it’s own blends. Catalina Red, which is a reference to Mar’s maiden name, Cata Red, which means “tasting room” and Ciriaco Red named for her father. These wines are made with grapes grown on the Wahluke Slope AVA (American Viticultural Area) in the Columbia Valley appellation in Eastern Washington. This area resulted from glacial flooding through the Sentinel Gap in the Saddle Mountains and created an ideal growing environment for wine grapes that is very similar to the environment in Spain.
In addition to their own, there are several imported Spanish wines and a few wines from local wineries. Wine can be purchased by the bottle. The Emanar wine club, "Club Le Cata," provides the opportunity for discounts and special events for those who are interested in buying at least three bottles of wine per quarter.
Come and visit Emanar Cellars - experience Spanish hospitality. Because of the Meyerhoefer’s personal interest, you’ll leave with something no one else knows.
