Established in 2001, Cougar Crest Estate Winery is located in the Walla Walla Valley of Washington State. Walla Walla Valley is recognized as the premier place to grow grapes in Washington, and Cougar Crest is one of the finest wineries in the region. The agency that regulates Washington wineries considers estate vineyards so important they have a legal definition that must be strictly adhered to, in order to use the term "Estate".
Their goal and ours is to make sure that Cougar Crest is the steward of the land and of the winery. Cougar Hills is located a stone's throw from the site of the original Seven Hills Vineyard planted in the 1970's that began the Walla Walla legacy of quality vineyards. Noble Rock is located in The Rocks District of Milton-Freewater AVA.

Cougar Hills Vineyard is a stone's throw from the site of the original Seven Hills Vineyard planted more than 30 years ago, that began the Walla Walla legacy of quality vineyards. Tucked into the southwest corner of the Walla Walla AVA, as the name implies, there is a hill at Cougar Hills. The elevation averages 800 feet at the base and rises to 845 at the top of the hill.
Noble Rock Vineyard is located four miles east and slightly north of Cougar Hills Vineyard. The land here is relative flat and occupies five acres. Being closer to the Blue Mountains this vineyard would be expected to get more rainfall than Cougar Hills, but this is not the case. The elevation is slightly higher than Cougar Hills, which is expected because the further west you go, you eventually end up at sea level.

Phenomenal wine! All the vintages have won awards at multiple national and international wine competitions. Super friendly staff, and Dave and Debbie, the owners and winemakers, offer personal tours of the whole facility if you can catch them when they have time at the end of the day! Beautiful tasting room that sells Cougar Gold Cheese and tampenade, cheese plates for order, a shaded patio perfect for picnics, and art on display for sale. Great spot only 5-10 minutes west from downtown Walla Walla on the main highway!
