This was our first stop in walla walla and it was perfect. The wines got better with each taste! Terry was delightful and didn't make us wait for our next pour which I greatly appreciate! Highly recommend this stop! read more

This was our second stop today; easy to do since their neighbor (75 yards away) was our first stop! Learned a lot today about the winery today, and dispelled a few misconceptions I had. Winery is smaller than I thought (5500 cases) and all wines are estate grown. Only three wines are regularly distributed, so there are a bunch of gems awaiting discovery! Without exception, these wines are extraordinary; the more common wines are very food-friendly, and show excellent aging potential. Thanks to Terry who guided us through the tasting and making recommendations for restaurants and other potential stops. This is a MUST visit! 40+ years shows they know their vineyard and the how to get the best out of them! read more

Such a beautiful people running this, terry and Corey are just the most delightful hosts. Do not miss this stop! Sauv blanc was BOMB read more

Woodward Canyon Winery - Pretty girls - Wineries Near Me - Lowden, Washington

After living in Walla Walla for over a year, I'm embarrassed to say I have not enjoyed everything the valley has to offer. The first most embarrassing is never going to Woodward Canyon. Short story: it did not disappoint. My favorite was the GSM (SMG?) pictured. So flavorful. The tasting had 5 reds - whites on the way in may - with 2 bonus pours. I will be bringing my visiting friends here in the summer. Buy a bottle of Chardonnay, a bottle of Syrah (or their stellar cab franc) and enjoy a picnic on the lawn. It's a bit of a hike out of town for Main Street Walla Walla, but it is worth the drive. As a heads up, the seating inside in the tasting room is a tad unconventional - a table, a few chairs, and a bar area - but it makes it more intimate. read more

This is a very pleasant winery tasting room to visit on the road into Walla Walla. You can taste indoors and outdoors, and all of their wines had fresh, clean, varietal flavors. We preferred the higher end reds. read more

Woodward Canyon Winery - Exterior - Wineries Near Me - Lowden, Washington

This turned out to be one of our favorite wineries and tastings. The price was reasonable at $10 a tasting and the staff was very friendly. It was such a gorgeous afternoon, that we decided to enjoy our tasting in the their backyard area and it was just beautiful. It's a peaceful area with a wood fire pizza oven, lots of flowers and several seating options. They offer either a reserve tasting (their more expensive wines) or just their regular tasting at the same cost. We went for the reserve and our friends chose the regular tasting. As it turned out, I think we all enjoyed our choices and will definitely make a return visit next time we are in the area! read more

We visited Woodward Canyon Winery, which was a busy place to visit on Saturday. The building is a house, and was used as the headmaster's house back in the day next to the school, which is now L'Ecole 41. The tasting included two whites and three reds. I'm not a white wine fan, so didn't much like those; however, the red wines were good here. Of the wines we tried I really enjoyed the 2016 cabernet sauvignon, which is nearly $100 a bottle! It is definitely one to try. Woodward Canyon Winery's tasting room, which is the front area of the house. It's on the smaller side, so it did get cramped with the many people visiting when we were there. There's some seating, but would recommend sitting out on the front porch. The staff did a great job at bringing wines out to those not standing at the bar area for tasting, which was really nice. I would recommend visiting Woodward Canyon Winery during your Walla Walla adventure. read more

Great wine, great staff! We were fortunate enough to go into the cellar. What an experience!!

No rush tasting of 6 wines served by a friendly, knowledgeable server. Enjoy the history.

A lovely oasis with some of the most noteworthy wines in Walla Walla. One of the early planters in the county, you can tell the expertise with a wide selection of varietals. My wife and I were made to feel very welcome by Terry, who was willing and able to answer questions as well as provide guidance to Walla Walla newbies. One of the best reserve Cabernets in the area. We can't wait to go back... read more

Woodward Canyon Winery - Lovely place to bring a picnic and enjoy spectacular wine. - Wineries Near Me - Lowden, Washington

Had a great tasting here. Non pretentious, friendly staff. And really enjoyed the wines!

Woodward Canyon Winery was a quaint tasting room with a beautiful cellar and delicious wine. Variety of reasonably priced bottles with some cool history. Couple whites and small handful of reds on tasting menu at the time we went. Definitely walked away with a case and some knowledge of their almost 40 years of existence. Really enjoyed the cellar tour and their label choices of historic Walla Walla/ Lowden founders on vintages as well as beautiful art work on this millenniums bottles. Thank you for making our experience wonderful Michelle and Terry. Ps: go here first for your vouchers to the next couple wineries read more

Go wine tasting here!!! This is a must do in Walla Walla. Only $10 for tasting (I think?). And the wines were really delicious. We sat here forever and talked/drank wine, and they put up with our big loud group. The woman working was incredible and so easy to talk to. She was so accommodating, and we loved chatting with her. The wines here were some of the best I tasted all weekend. read more

Love the staff here...Terry is fabulous!! And the wine......wonderful!! The Cab and Old Vine (now) is particularly good!!!

When we travel back home to the Lewiston/Clarkston Valley we always stop and enjoy wine tastings and enjoying a glass outside on their beautiful landscape with beautiful flowers. Great service and a very pet friendly place. #woodwardcanyonwinery read more

Outstanding service, very friendly and non-pretentious. Excellent wine, particularly enjoyed the 2020 Cab Franc. Carl very generously took us on a short tour of the reserve house and cellar. Katie gave us written restaurant recommendations and and additional tasting off the menu. We will definitely be back! read more

Stopped here after L'Ecole but it was this winery's accolades that brought us in! It was so refreshing to meet such nice staff and their pours are generous enough that you actually get to taste their wine! We loved the artist series, but we were most impressed by their old vine cab, this quality and value is impossible to come by! read more

This place is easy to miss off the highway. We had passed other wineries on the way, but the cute little house up front caught my eye. They were offering a white flight and a classic flight. If you go with the classic, they will refund you $5 with bottle purchase. I went with the classic and they were all great and went down smoothly. They also have a restaurant open for the lunch hour offering small plates with local produce. The sommelier was nice to talk to and very friendly. She told us they have events from time to time. I would so hit this place up if I lived here. read more

Woodward was an unplanned stop after visiting L'Ecole next door. We were impressed by the comfortable tasting room, and our wine steward was super approachable, and was willing to not only answer questions but offer suggestions of other wineries. We spent some time here, and bought bottles of varying prices, but consistent quality. They have moderately priced vintages that are as interesting as their more expensive founder's variety. We will recommend this to others as a good first stop in Walla Walla. read more

This was our third stop wine tasting in the Walla Walla area. This was our favorite stop. The wine flights came in two varieties, but we were able to mix and match a bit. Being partial to red wines, we switched from a white to a red in the flight of 5 tastes. When it was over, we had sampled 8 glasses of their portioned reds, and zeroed in on the red we purchased. The tasting fee was waived when we bought the wine. The service was excellent, but note that we came mid-week, so there weren't a lot of people in tasting, about 8 at most. The information was helpful, and the descriptions in print were spot on. I'm not used to spending over $10 for a bottle, but a few of these made me aware that there are very special wines for very special times. read more

Wonderful experience! Great wines with generous pours in a lovely garden setting. The estate Barbera and estate dolcetto were particular standouts. Staff were lovely, providing great service while wearing masks and keeping things sparkling clean. They allowed us to relax and enjoy the scenery, no rush or hurry. Must-visit for any Walla Walla trip! read more

Dear Woodward Canyon, Thanks for including us in your last pour of the night, and for sharing great wines with a low-key panache. We really enjoyed the whole tasting room experience. It made up for the too cool for school service we experienced next door, and left us with a great feeling. We'll be back! Your friends from Seattle read more

The staff is knowledgeable about wine. Staff is friendly and laid back. They have a good variety of wine. As a first timer this winery is the best introduction to wine tasting. The wine tasting takes place on the lawn with a beautiful scenery of the fields around the winery. read more

We visited back in 2014 and were not impressed. However, after reading my review, the owner reached out and invited us back so we could see our experience was an outlier. Well they were right. We stopped by a week or so ago, without mentioning our disappointment 7 years ago, and the wines were outstanding, the pourer was as knowledgeable as he was engaging. We had a great time and ended up shipping 1/2 a case or so back to CA along with the bottles we took with us. Nice work guys. read more

As a first stop, this winery offered a nice start to our wine tasting weekend. Right next to L'Ecole No. 41, it features a nice patio, awesome tasting room and the opportunity to eat woodfired pizza on Fridays for lunch. Make sure you bring o'deurves and snacks for the kids though. Nearby there are two PokéStops and a gym providing entertainment for the whole family. The selection includes local varietals, blends and different types of tastings. You can apply the cost of the refundable tasting to a bottle but you cannot apply the cost of the Reserve tasting to a purchase. Prices are moderate to high but you are paying for quality and exclusivity which makes it reasonable. Grab what you like and picnic outside or sit by the front porch to hide from the hot summer weather. Cheers! read more

really homey and a welcoming place. this was our second stop, right after l'ecole. we walked across a grassy patch, looked at the fishies in the pond and tried to stay out of the heat. the people that spent time with us were super friendly and we chatted about what we were going to do. they gave us some hints about the area and where we might want to visit. super small tasting area, so don't come with a big group. some nice reds that we talked about but since this was our first stop, we didn't do too much damage. read more

Nice intimate location vs some of the bigger places. Good wine and service. Stunning Thanksgiving Cactus, absolutely stunning.

Woodward Canyon Winery was our groups favorite winery by far! Not only were all the wines tasty, they have a beautiful outside area perfect for picnicking! We were visiting with a large group for a bachelorette and they accommodated us beautifully, setting up some tables in the back so we could enjoy our lunch while they brought the group tastings. Absolutely lovely in every way! read more

Good wines and friendly staff. We like this place a lot. With l'Ecole looking over its shoulder next door, I thought it might feel less established, but not at all! It's been around for years, and the wines are really good. We loved it! read more

One of the big boys of food wine in Walla Walla, you can't miss visiting this winery. The wine at Woodward Canyon is classic, elegant and surprisingly varied. Although it's easy for a winemaker to get roped into a particular style of wine, these guys have everything from the mild and easy to the big and bam! It's worth stopping in for several reasons: 1. It's a nice drive out to the winery. 2. The building is quaint and the staff super friendly. 3. If you take the time to ask questions, you'll get an education. 4. For the tasting fee, they pour a lot of wine and aren't afraid to break out the good stuff. Of course you'll want to buy a bottle, thus waiving the tasting fee anyways. I must quote a previous Yelp! review, "Regardless of your taste in wine, I would recommend Woodward Canyon for the opportunity to taste wine from one of the valley's earliest and longstanding estate wineries." So, why four stars instead of five? I have a tendency to judge wine as to how it holds up with and without food. Woodward Canyon is amazing food wine, no doubt. But to really enjoy their wine without food, you need to spend quite a bit on one of the higher end bottles. But that's just my humble opinion... You'll love the wine. And that's the bottom line. read more

Great wines for tasting. the staff is really nice. We also used a small patch of grass behind the house for a little picnic. I would go back for the wine and to try the restaurant on site. read more

We selected Woodward Canyon based on Yelp reviews but went the extra step and had their Reserve House private tasting. For a little more expense, we received an outstanding experience from an ambiance, informational and tasting perspective. We learned about their wine and history of the winery as we moved through their impressive lineup. All of us enjoyed the conversation with our host, Courtney. In addition, we were informed of the restaurant right above us and were able to make a reservation for lunch prior to leaving the winery. A tasting experience worth exploring, as well as very good wines, I strongly recommend adding this location to your visitation list. If you want a great tasting experience make the jump to Reserve House tasting. read more

This was our first stop on the way into Walla Walla for a weekend of wine tasting. We ended up spending quite a good amount of time here because the wines were so delicious. They have a few fun gifting things for sale. The grounds were beautiful. read more

Realized after opening the amazing 1998 Charbonneau, still quite young with another decade ahead of it, how long we have been enjoying Woodward Canyon wines. Thanks! read more

Very good wines, but significantly overpriced. Other wines from other vineyards are as good or better for 30-50% less per bottle. The 2013 Barbera at $29 was a pleasant exception. Tasting room staff were very pleasant! read more

My boyfriend and Ihave tried their wines before at retail stores. My favorite is their Riesling, which unfortunately they ran out of and don't make anymore. The wines were decent. I feel like since they're the second established winery in Walla Walla the staff thinks they can do no wrong. My boyfriend, who is new to wine tasting asked a few questions about their Rhone varietal (Mourvèdre, Syrah, Grenache), the guy pouring must've thought he wasn't "worthy" of drinking the wines. He completely ignored my boyfriend and did not pour him any more wine, even though he was only halfway through his tasting. We will not return there or purchase their wines. read more
