Ward Four Wines

Justin Trabue (she/her) is the founder and winemaker behind Ward Four Wines, a micro-winery rooted in joy, authenticity, and heritage. Her motto, “Wines of Joy, No Fuss,” reflects both her approachable style and commitment to making wine a space for everyone. A fourth-generation Washington, D.C. native raised in the city’s Ward 4, Justin’s brand is a love letter to her roots, her family, and her identity—woven through every bottle she creates. Ward Four Wines specializes in low-intervention winemaking, partnering exclusively with family-owned vineyards that prioritize sustainability and ethical labor practices. Justin is especially passionate about working with lesser-discussed grape varieties–like Barbera and Muscat Blanc–not only for their unique profiles, but for the conversations they spark. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned wine lover, her wines invite you to learn, share, and find delight in discovery. What began at her family’s dining room table, surrounded by laughter and shared pours, has grown into a bold, personal vision for what wine can be: a vessel for connection, a celebration of heritage, and a joyful presence at the table.
