Wilridge Vineyard, Winery & Distillery is a family-owned establishment that has been crafting wines and spirits since 1988. Located in the scenic Naches Heights AVA, it is recognized as the oldest winery in Seattle. The winery's first vineyards were planted in 2007, and in 2017, they expanded to include a brandy distillery, utilizing apples, pears, and grapes grown on their estate. As Washington's first certified organic, SalmonSafe, and biodynamic winery, Wilridge is committed to sustainable practices. Paul Beveridge, the winemaker, has dedicated over 30 years to producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region, favoring traditional European styles over new world trends. In 1996, he expanded the winery's capacity to produce 2,000 cases of wine annually, meeting the growing demand for their exceptional offerings.
Paul Beveridge's commitment to European winemaking philosophies is evident in the biodynamic and organic methods used in their vineyards near Yakima. The region's ideal microclimate, soil, and rainfall create perfect conditions for vine cultivation. By employing organic practices, Wilridge maintains ecological balance and ensures the longevity of their vineyards. The estate grows a diverse range of grape varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petite Verdot, Nebbiolo, Sangiovese, Sagrantino, Barbera, Syrah, Mourvedre, Touriga Nacional, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Viognier, Roussanne, Semillon, and Sauvignon Blanc. These grapes contribute to their award-winning selection of red, white, rosé, and sparkling wines, appealing to wine lovers and travelers alike.

Write a reviewBeautiful laid back winery in Yakima. We sat at the backyard in the shades where the kids could play around. The setting was lovely. We had the estates mix and red wine tasting. Everything was great! It could be crowded on weekends and there may be a wait placing an order. Ample parking space. Soak in the sun and shade and enjoy the wine tasting experience!

Have a great time coming here and it’s one of our go to places to relax and drink wine but what really makes it wonderful is Laurie. She greets us with such warmth and enthusiasm and act like she remembers us even if she doesn’t at first. The only reason we joined the wine club was because of her and how accommodating and wonderful she was to us and continues to be!! The wine over last few years seems to be getting better and better and being treated like family when we arrive just makes the experience delightful.

We very much enjoyed our experience at Wilridge Vineyards. We sampled a variety of reds and had the cheese plate. The patio was heated, and offered nice views of the vineyards and surrounding hillsides. Local hiking trails surround the property.
