Mission Mountain Winery is a family owned winery located on the West Shore of Flathead Lake (the largest natural fresh water lake west of the Mississippi), in Dayton Montana. There is even access to the winery by boat. It is the first Bonded Winery in the state of Montana. The initial Vineyard was started twentythree years ago and the Winery's first vintage was 1984.
Tom Campbell Jr. is the man behind the winemaking. Having trained at the University of California at Davis in Enology (Winemaking ), he then worked as an enologist at several different winery's including: Jekel and Shiloh in California and the Ste. Michelle and Quail Run (now Covey Run). He then started Mission Mountain Winery in Montana with his father in 1984. Tom and his wife Hema also started Horizon's Edge Winery in Zillah,Washington in 1985 and sold it in 1999.
The Winery currently produces approximately 6,500 cases of wine a year. The wines produced include: Noir Blanc, Johannisberg Riesling, Monster Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, a ""blush"" wine called Sundown, an exceptional Muscat Canelli dinner wine, Nouveaux Riche a dessert Muscat Canelli, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Monster Red a Merlot - Cabernet blend, Cream Sherry and a Port.
