MARYHILL WINERY, WA


Maryhill Winery is Washington State's premier destination winery featuring one of the Northwest's most desirable microclimates for growing grapes. Picnicking is encouraged on our spacious and scenic covered arbor with perfect river views. Possibly the most enjoyable part of Maryhill, from a grower's standpoint, is the wide variety of grapes the area will support - including several difficult to grow varietals often stunted in many of the region's other vineyards. They focus their vineyards on producing premium red wines, with special attention to Syrah and Sangiovese. Their larger vineyards include blocks of Zinfandel, Viognier, Merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon vines, as well as smaller sections for Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Grenache.

Marshal's Winery & Vineyard

Marshal's Winery is a small but growing operation with a wide range of mouth watering wines to satisfy everyone's tasting pleasure. Varieties exclusive only to Marshal's Vineyard round out a menu of great wine, atmosphere and fresh local treats. The Marshal family has been making a wide base of varietals since 1999. The vines that stretch over the hills produce cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, syrah and, most recently, barbera. Ron Marshal also crafts cooler white varietals from White Salmon grapes. You are often greeted personally by "Mr. Ron Jon", if not handed a plate of smoked salmon by his lovely wife Lily, along with your wines! We enjoy the Gold Medal Barbera and Syrah Reserve here.

Cascade Cliffs Vineyard & Winery

Majestic riverfront scenery, towering 400 foot basalt cliffs and luscious sun-soaked vineyards host a petite winery's distinctive estate varietals. Ask questions about the hard to grow Nebllio grape, stick your nose in a glass, hike the vineyards or chose a chore. Family picnicking is welcome.

Wheatridge Winery

The Bartlemay Ranch has been family owned and operated
for over a century.
William Bartlemay settled the land just before the turn
of the century, along
with several farmers in the area. Over the next several
years, as the
neighboring homesteaders sold out, William was there
to acquire
the land and start his own small, yet distinguished
ranch. The large herd of cattle which used to
run freely in the tall
grasses and fallow wheat fields is now gone.
In it's place is a vineyard, looking strangely
foreign in the desert conditions, and a blossoming
winery. William's grandson, Larry Bartlemay,
has changed from a teenage cowhand and wheat
farmer to a dignified owner and vintner.
His natural talent for growing things in the dry
conditions of Eastern Oregon has gone a long way.
