Upland Estates

Gewürztraminer and Old Vine Cabernet from Snipes Mountain's volcanic terroir.

Upland Estates draws from Snipes Mountain, a distinctive pocket within Yakima Valley's Columbia Valley appellation. The winery's portfolio centers on two contrasting expressions: a Gewürztraminer that captures the aromatic potential of Washington's cool-climate whites, and an Old Vine Cabernet Sauvignon rooted in the region's Bordeaux-variety heritage. A Malbec rounds out the range, reflecting the broader varietal diversity that defines eastern Washington viticulture. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate have both assessed the winery's output, with the Gewürztraminer and Old Vine Cabernet earning particular recognition. Snipes Mountain's elevation and volcanic soils create conditions suited to both crisp, mineral-driven whites and structured reds—a duality evident in Upland Estates' approach to winemaking in one of the Pacific Northwest's most compelling growing regions.
