Horse Heaven Hills
Horse Heaven Hills

Home to multiple 100 point wines, Horse Heaven Hills is nestled in the southeastern corner of Washington and is a hidden jewel amidst the vast landscape of the Pacific Northwest. Primarily known for reds, wines from the region are exciting and vibrant. Vineyards are planted along the banks of the Columbia River and on hillsides ranging from 300 feet to 1800 feet elevation. Despite the proximity to the river, the land is extremely dry. Heavy winds force grapes to work harder for nutrients and as a result, they develop highly concentrated fruit flavors.
