Our estate vineyards are the heart of the winery. The world class wine for which we are known starts there, in the dust and the cobbles. Watermill currently has 7 estate vineyards spread across 4 different AVA’s within the Pacific Northwest. Our winemaking goal is to try and capture the unique aspect of each vineyard site in order to produce wines that are both high quality and expressive. Our vineyards within the Rocks District of Milton-Freewater and the Walla Walla Valley provide world class fruit that is harvested at low yields in order to maximize flavor. Our Rattlesnake Hills and Columbia Valley properties, being in warmer climates, allow for larger scale production that is focused on our more value driven tiers. If you are interested in experiencing the Vineyards first hand please see our our winery and vineyard tour section of the “Visit Us” page for more information. All Watermill estate vineyards are LIVE Certified Sustainable and Salmon Safe.
