our roots

Wes and Natasha Teslo, the creative minds behind JBell Wine Co, are your hosts on a journey through the world of exceptional winemaking. Their story began in the early 2000s when they were first introduced to the captivating Yakima Valley. Drawn in by its breathtaking natural beauty, abundant sunshine, and thriving vineyards, the Teslo family couldn't help but be enchanted by the region's potential.

A Wine Adventure Unveiled

Yakima Valley had Wes Teslo hooked from the very beginning. The bountiful vineyards and the intricate art of winemaking became his passions. His fascination with the entire winemaking process was the spark that ignited the creation of JBell Wine Co.

As Wes's love for winemaking blossomed, Natasha stood steadfastly by his side, providing unwavering support and encouragement. Together, they nurtured the growth of J. Bell Cellars, a name lovingly inspired by their cherished children, Jason and Isabell.

Rooted in the Yakima Valley

The Teslo family has since made the Yakima Valley their permanent home, sowing their roots deep into this remarkable region. Here, they've cultivated a 30-acre oasis, complete with the original garage, lovingly transformed into a charming tasting room, a sprawling events field, their own vineyard, and a fragrant 5-acre lavender field.

Wes continues to play a pivotal role as the head winemaker, crafting exceptional wines that reflect the very essence of the Yakima Valley. Natasha, as the general manager, ensures the seamless operation of J Bell Cellars, allowing the magic to unfold seamlessly.
