Nearly forty years later that number approaches eight hundred wineries. Washington state is now second only to California in USA wine and grape production. Rob has more years of production experience in Washington state than any other Washington winemaker. Rob and his wife, Deborah Barnard have guided Barnard Griffin Winery to be one of the largest and most respected, family-owned producers in the state.<\/p>\n<p>A 1975 honors graduate of the University of California at Davis in fermentation science, Rob\u2019s winery has won frequent awards and plaudits, including numerous <em>Double Gold<\/em> and <em>Best Of<\/em> category awards, Wine Spectator Top 100 ratings, and was rated 2006 Northwest Winery of the Year. Rob has served as President of the Washington Wine Institute and as a frequent spokesperson for Washington state\u2019s exciting young wine industry. Daughters Elise Jackson and Megan Hughes have joined the winery effort in sales and production. The second generation is in place, and the family looks forward to a great future.<\/p>\n<p>Rob Griffin and Deborah Barnard invite you to join them for this \u201cBucket List\u201d up the mighty Rhine River, through Holland, Germany and France, then along the Mosel River to Luxembourg, through some of Germany\u2019s most picturesque villages. You will visit the heart of the Rheingau and Moselle wine regions.<\/p>\n<p>On board will be an ample provision of Barnard-Griffin wines, along with other European vintages. This exclusive holiday is dedicated to great food, fine wine and plentiful sunshine.Join us on this once in a lifetime wine experience.Feel free to share this website with any like-minded friends.<\/p>\n<p><em>Rob Griffin &amp; Deborah Barnard<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-218717560\" class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1778411661\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1199\" height=\"973\" src=\"https:\/\/toursandwine.com\/bg26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/168\/2024\/08\/PHOTO-Rob-Griffin-and-Deborah-Barnard-Dec.-2016-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/toursandwine.com\/bg26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/168\/2024\/08\/PHOTO-Rob-Griffin-and-Deborah-Barnard-Dec.-2016-1.jpg 1199w, https:\/\/toursandwine.com\/bg26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/168\/2024\/08\/PHOTO-Rob-Griffin-and-Deborah-Barnard-Dec.-2016-1-300x243.jpg 300w, https:\/\/toursandwine.com\/bg26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/168\/2024\/08\/PHOTO-Rob-Griffin-and-Deborah-Barnard-Dec.-2016-1-1024x831.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/toursandwine.com\/bg26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/168\/2024\/08\/PHOTO-Rob-Griffin-and-Deborah-Barnard-Dec.-2016-1-768x623.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1199px) 100vw, 1199px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1778411661 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1915455951\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"404\" height=\"541\" src=\"https:\/\/toursandwine.com\/bg26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/168\/2024\/08\/PHOTO-Rob-Deborah-Griffin-France.jpg\" class=\"attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/toursandwine.com\/bg26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/168\/2024\/08\/PHOTO-Rob-Deborah-Griffin-France.jpg 404w, https:\/\/toursandwine.com\/bg26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/168\/2024\/08\/PHOTO-Rob-Deborah-Griffin-France-224x300.jpg 224w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1915455951 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-228784731 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1159876949\" class=\"col medium-3 small-12 large-3\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-center\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Contact &#8211; Georgia Shoemaker<br \/>Direct Line &#8211; <a href=\"tel:17149759941\">1-714-975-9941<\/a><br \/>Email &#8211; <a href=\"mailto:Georgia@Expanding-Horizons.com\">Georgia@Expanding-Horizons.com <\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"is-divider divider clearfix\" style=\"margin-top:1.4em;margin-bottom:1.4em;max-width:50%;height:1px;background-color:rgb(196, 161, 95);\"><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1216589041\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"212\" src=\"https:\/\/toursandwine.com\/bg26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/168\/2024\/08\/LOGO-Barnard-Griffin.jpg\" class=\"attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1216589041 {\n  width: 80%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1291446328 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n<p><strong>Please note: Vineyards of the Rhine &#038; Moselle River Cruise 2026 (hosted by Barnard Griffin Vineyards) wine tasting tour is created by our tour operator, Expanding Horizons of Tustin, CA in conjunction with AmaWaterways.
