Birch Creek Vineyard – New ownership has turned this vineyard into one of our most exciting sites and it just keeps getting better every year
Coyote Canyon Vineyard (Horse Heaven Hills AVA) – The area vineyards were started here in 1980. Over the years more vineyard “blocks” were and new varietals were added, not only for blending purposes, but as standalone varietals to quench the appetite wine lovers have acquired for new and pioneering wines. In 1994 the Coyote Canyon Vineyard was started and more wineries were added as customers. The vineyard is owned by Bob Andrews, Mike Andrews, and Jeff Andrews. Coyote Canyon is dedicated to doing their part to continue the Washington Wine Industry's tradition of excellence. With 25 years of experience growing premium wine grapes they have learned quite a bit about what it takes to grow “wine”. Sweet Valley Wines harvests Viognier, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah from this vineyard.
Forgotten Hills Vineyard – Renowned Artist, Jefferey Hill started this vineyard many years ago when he moved to the valley to embark on his painting and wine- grape growing skills. The vineyard itself sits on numerous soil types and is trained with two fruiting canes with both sets of shoots trained vertically. Now under the direct supervision of Waters Winery winemaker, Jamie Brown, our Merlot from this vineyard is getting better with every vintage. Our friendship with Jamie allows close supervision by winemaker Josh McDaniels throughout the growing season giving us an extra touch to create ultra- premium wines.
