Whitman Hill Winery’s mission is to create highly sought-after wines from our estate grown vineyards that offer a luxurious everyday experience to share with family and friends. Striving for excellence in every aspect is a cornerstone of our ideology, and our commitment to value will never falter.

Whitman Hill Winery highlights a unique bond between our agricultural heritage and our inherent love of the land instilled through familial traditions and generational farming.  We seek to preserve this legacy by continuing these traditions in the same spirit.

The Whitmans co-owned a winery on the West Side, but they sourced grapes from the Yakima Valley because of the superior fruit produced. In February 2020, they seized an opportunity to acquire property in Zillah to have a more direct impact in the vineyards. Amidst the pandemic, Scott and Denise founded Whitman Hill Winery because their passion to create wine would not be deterred. From humble beginnings – developing the first batch of wine in their garage – came the tasting room dubbed with the same moniker, The Garage.

Combining modern innovation with old-world techniques, our estate winery focuses on small lot wine production which ensures high-quality wines concentrated with complexity. These traditional practices are an integral part of our mission in shaping an everyday luxury brand.

By employing sustainable organic farming practices and respecting our role as stewards of the land, our varietals thrive in the rolling hills of Zillah. Planting the vinifera vines directly in the ground amplifies the intensity of the fruit and supports cellaring potential. Minimal intervention encourages flourishing vegetation, and we patiently await harvest at the optimal moment to achieve overall balance. After careful observation and aging in a purposefully curated barrel management program, our wines are imbued with the estate’s unique terroir and the quality we are proud to serve. 

At Whitman Hill, we are dedicated to fostering indelible memories to be cherished by creating distinctive experiences through savoring our wine amidst the picturesque views of the region. Authenticity drives our wine tasting and membership program, and we believe that will be evident in your visit.
