As legend has it, explorers Lewis and Clark noticed a ridge resembling an overturned canoe on their Columbia River journey, inspiring our Canoe Ridge Vineyard name. Established in 1989, Canoe Ridge Vineyard is one of Washington state's most recognized producers. From our vineyard in Horse Heave Hills AVA to the surrounding Columbia Valley, our winemaker, Haydn Mouat, selects from the best grapes to create Canoe Ridge Vineyard wines. Handcrafted at our Walla Walla winery, these wines offer true varietal character made for everyday enjoyment.
