Distinguished Exhibitor Award

Inland Desert Nursery 
​2015 Distinguished Exhibitor Award Recipient
​This year’s distinguished exhibitor award goes to a company who has been at our show for years and has been an amazing resource for the grape industry. Decades before the wine industry blossomed in Washington State, the founder of this company cared for Concord and Niagara starts in his parents’ backyard. With the support of Dr. Walter Clore, the “Father of Washington Viticulture”; the founder pioneered the establishment of the first certified wine grape mother-blocks in Washington State.

Inland Desert Nursery provides plants for more than half of the new acres planted in WA, with an average or 2 million plants provided for new plantings each year (4 million plants for 2015). With their commitment and reputation of providing the cleanest and healthiest grapevines available to growers their business has expanded beyond the borders of WA State, but proudly say that 80% of their business is here in WA.

​Today, Inland Desert Nursery is still family owned and operated with Tom Judkins Jr. providing over 40 years of experience to his two sons, Jerry Smith-Judkins and Kevin Judkins. They have over 70 fulltime and seasonal employees whose main goal is to continue to provide the industry with the cleanest grapevines in the industry. It is with great pleasure that we award Inland Desert Nursery with the 2015 Washington State Grape Society’s Contributor Award.
