Ellensburg Canyon is a Winery with an onsite Estate vineyard located in the Eastern part of the Columbia Valley AVA. The Yakima River Canyon boasts some the most unique terroir in the state of Washington, with significant slope for cold drainage and sun exposure, loamy soil with volcanic ash that adds minerality and complexity, and frequent winds that help to promote flavonoid development in the grape skins.
Made in the Kabinett style, the lightest style of Riesling. A refreshing white perfect for drinking on the patio. Well-balanced minerality and crisp acidity make this a great wine for food, pairing beautifully with fresh-caught trout, roasted chicken, and Summer salads. It's our go-to with hard-to-pair spicy dishes.
The red wine drinker's white wine, this unique 'white' is made from red Cabernet Franc grapes. Made with a whole cluster press, we then pull the juice off the skins to ferment in neutral oak barrels. The resulting wine provides a unique taste profile of what a red wine will taste like when you drop out the tannins.

I had a wonderful experience here! I'm from out of state and stopped on a whim while driving through. Gary was working in the vineyard when I pulled up, but he stopped immediately to greet me and treat me to his tasty wines and his knowledge of the area. The wines were delicious; I'm not normally a fan of Rosé, but the Rosé here was surprisingly delicious. I wasn't expecting a taste of the hard apple cider as well. I left with a cold can of apple cider and a bottle of my favorite wine from the tasting (the ice wine port) to share with friends. I wish I could have bought more. I'm very happy I

The view is nice but that is all I can say about this winery. Even though wine maker claims that he has been making wine for 15+ years, or I think 20+ years, the wines were really not that good. More over, I think the wine maker needs to know that when you are charging $7 for wine tasting, the standard tasting pour size is 2 to 3 ounces but I didn't even get one ounce of pour at this winery. Having traveled all over for wines, never have I had such a small pour. At any winery the pour size should be at least two sips, so that with first sip you clear the palate from previous pour and the second
