Home · Walla Walla wineries · Woodward Canyon Winery
Woodward Canyon is one of Walla Walla's foundational wineries and offers a relaxed historic visit in Lowden. The tasting property sits near L'Ecole No 41, making this small area one of the easiest two-winery clusters in the valley. The experience is much more intimate than a large resort winery and centers squarely on the wine.
Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux-style wines are the main attraction, with a reputation for wines that can age. A standard flight introduces current releases and may include estate/vineyard-designated bottlings. Staff can also provide useful historical context because Woodward Canyon has been part of Walla Walla wine since the region's early modern era.
The garden and patio make the property comfortable for a slower stop, and visitors may be able to enjoy a picnic in designated areas. It is a good fit for serious wine drinkers who prefer a quieter, less theatrical experience.
