Our Story

Rooted in the hills,
grown with patience.

Sandhill Winery sits on a sun-drenched ridge above Benton City, where the semi-arid climate and well-drained loess soils create ideal conditions for bold, expressive wines. What began as a passion project has grown into a respected destination on the Walla Walla Valley wine trail.

Every bottle carries the character of this place — the warm days, cool nights, and the quiet dedication of a team that believes great wine is made in the vineyard first, and in the cellar second. We also bake on-site, because we think a glass of Cabernet deserves a slice of fresh sourdough beside it.

Our Wines

Each vintage tells a
different story.

From the structure of our Cabernet Sauvignon to the bright acidity of our Riesling, every wine is fermented and aged in our cellar before reaching your glass.

Red

Cabernet Sauvignon

Walla Walla Valley · 2021

Dark cherry, blackberry, and a hint of cedar. Full-bodied with velvety tannins and a long, warm finish.

Red

Merlot

Walla Walla Valley · 2020

Plum, cocoa, and toasted almond. Silky on the palate with a supple, approachable structure.

White

Riesling

Walla Walla Valley · 2022

Lime blossom, green apple, and a whisper of petrol. Crisp acidity balanced by a touch of residual sweetness.

Red

Syrah

Walla Walla Valley · 2019

Black olive, smoked meat, and blueberry. Dense and powerful, yet refined with age-worthy structure.

White

Chardonnay

Walla Walla Valley · 2022

Baked pear, hazelnut, and a touch of brioche. Medium-bodied with a creamy, lingering finish.

Rosé

Walla Walla Valley · 2023

Strawberry, watermelon, and citrus peel. Dry, refreshing, and made for warm afternoons on the patio.

What Visitors Say

From the

"We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon and stayed for three hours. The tasting was relaxed, the sourdough was incredible, and the view from the patio is something we still talk about."

"The Syrah here is unlike anything I've had from the region. You can taste the terroir — the warmth of the valley, the dry soil, the cool nights. This is a winery that means business."

— A visitor from Seattle

"We hosted our engagement party on the patio and Sandhill made it unforgettable. The staff went above and beyond, and the bakery board was the talk of the evening."
