Airfield Estates is a family owned and operated winery and vineyard situated in the heart of the Yakima Valley - Washington State's oldest established AVA. For four generations, our family has been farming in this region. We planted our first wine grapes in 1968, and today, our estate vineyard spans 830 acres and includes over 20 different varietals.
The experience and knowledge gained over the years has helped us craft well-balanced wines reflecting great varietal expression and quality. As the name suggests, Airfield Estates has ties to aviation. Prior to our farming days, a portion of our property operated as a training base for hundreds of Army Air Corps pilots during World War II.

Services
Airfield Estates has a deeply rooted history that traces back to 1907 when our founder and great-grandfather, H. Lloyd Miller, pioneered to the northwest settling in Sunnyside, Washington. As an entrepreneur and successful real estate man, H. Lloyd was largely engaged in the buying and selling of farm properties.
We are currently offering FREE UPS Ground Shipping with the purchase of 6 or more bottles of Airfield Wines to our fellow Pacific Northwest residents of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Shipments to other eligible shipping states receive $10 Flat Rate UPS Ground Shipping on 6 to 11 bottles ~or~ FREE UPS Ground Shipping on 12 or more bottles of Airfield Wines.
H. Lloyd Miller was a successful businessman and pioneer of the Yakima Valley. Noting the potential for the valley to become one of the nation's leading agricultural producers, he began acquiring dry farmland with the hopes that someday it would have access to water. Eventually, H. Lloyd became the chairman of the Roza Irrigation Canal Board, and he saw the project through to its completion in 1951.
With the onset of World War II, the Olympia Air Transport Corporation began looking to lease land in the Yakima Valley to establish a civilian flight school. H. Lloyd Miller, the founder of our family estate and a successful realtor and landowner, knew that it would be several years before the arrival of irrigation water on his farmland so he signed a lease agreement for a portion of his property.

We were looking for a winery and this was near town. It was Friday and not crowded. We sat in the back room on a couch with coffee table. Rather than pouring each sample the server brought us 5 small numbered carafes, a menu, and 2 wine glasses. This was perfect as we were able to take our time. The facility is clean and spacious with an aviation theme based on the owner's original property. It would be perfect for a private event. There is outside seating in front with a nice water feature the blocks most of the noise from the nearby freeway. After sampling I took a 2018 Cab and a 2020 Chardonnay

Went to the fall wine release party and had an amazing time. The staff is very knowledgeable and attentive. The wines at Airfield are always top notch. Got to spend time with Travis (the wine maker extraordinare) and learned some of the interesting challenges that go into making such great wines. Keep up the great work!!

Have enjoyed Airfield Estates wine for years, however it's a been a challenge for me to find in stores near home. When I visited Yakima and found out there was an Airfield Estates Winery location in Prosser, I could not come this far and not visit.
Less than a mile right off highway exit and so easy to find. The outdoor seating area was shaded and has a rock waterfall and pond. This sound of water added to the ambience. You can see and hear it from inside as well. It was extremely hot so sat indoors where it was much cooler. Did a tasting and picked up some wine and couple of souvenirs. Love

I live in Redmond and my parents were in town visiting from Salt Lake City, Utah. We ended up coming across the Airfield Estates winery and got there just before they closed. The manager Madison was absolutely wonderful. She let us in and started us off with 3 popular white wines and two of the Reds. While we were tasting them Madison and Gabe were very friendly and told us all about the history while being able to answer every question we threw at them! I don't usually write reviews, but the hospitality that Madison and Gabe showed us was more than worth the two minutes!! If I could give 6 starts

We had a wonderful experience! Madison was so AWESOME, welcoming, & knowledgeable - loved her!! It was a perfect event before we had to go back to Utah after visiting our son in Redmond, WA. The wine was great, sampled both white and red flights, then bought a half dozen bottles and took them home, enjoyed the Malbec with a nice steak dinner. We highly recommend Airfield Estates Winery, Thank you so much

Vineyard Salute, Bombshell Red - 2018
This signature red blend is as sexy as her bottle. Leave it to "the friend bringing the wine" to unknowingly select a bottle from my hometown. This dark beauty has aromas of plum, blackberry and cocoa, leaving lingering flavors of dark fruit and toasty oak. Countless times I've attended barrel-tasting weekend, but this little red wine never tasted as good as she did tonight [pairs well with a hint of nostalgia and a single salty tear].
Needless to say, for old-times sake, I went online, the price was right and purchased a replacement case.

Our wine enthusiast Don was wonderful regaling history of the airfield winery and the property. We found it interesting and of the best tastings we have tried in the area. Converse and learn the history when you stop by and enjoy the samples - many gems to try beyond the standard flight!!! Check them out!

You get one large wine glass to pour your own wine into, so the flavors are mixed from one to the next. The decanters are labeled with numbers, and if you have a great memory, you might know which is which after the speedy description you get when they are brought to the table.
On a positive note, we get to keep the plastic cup the frose is serve in!!! I’m assuming we can also keep the straw, but I’m not sure.
We then ordered a charcuterie tray. We were delighted to learn it was prepared “picnic style” upon delivery, which did not include utensils, but did include a plastic bag as a portable

We really enjoyed this place! The wines were pretty tasty. We were greeted quickly! The woman gave my kids 3 airplane toys to put together and offered them graham crackers. My dog even got a treat too!
They waive tasting fees with bottle purchase and gave us a military discount. The tasting room was decorated nicely and very clean.
This was one of my favorite wineries I visited while in Prosser.

Great service and awesome atmosphere. I was so happy to get to the tasting room. Great wine and cheese plate. My only complaint would be that I had more attention and education regarding their wine. Other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our time there and we would come back the next time we are in the area.

This is one of my favorite wineries. Well, since I'm a wine club member here now, it has to be one of my favs. The best thing that comes out of this winery is their rosé. It's consistently good! They always sell out within a 4-5 months of release so if you like it, I suggest buying in bulk haha! I'm mainly a white/rosé wine drinker and my boyfriend loves the Reds so they have a well rounded selection. Their Pinot noir is fantastic for those who are used to whites but would like to try some reds. It's my fav red. My boyfriend loves their merlot. I feel that all their wines
