Watermill Winery On Broadway

06/13/2026

Celebrate Walla Walla is right around the corner — and we’re showing up with something special.

We’re one of five wineries opening our cellar exclusively for VIP guests, pouring library wines aged 10+ years alongside Caprio Cellars, L’Ecole, Reininger, and Tranche. Plus supper by Miss Huddy’s BBQ, winemakers at your table, live music by Forrest Ray, a commemorative Riedel glass, and vineyard views you can’t find anywhere else.

30 wineries pouring across the grounds. One VIP tent worth finding. Tickets in bio — June 20 at Tranche Cellars. 🍷

Every great wine starts with a person who cares deeply about where it comes from. Meet Israel Zenteno — our Director of Winemaking, and the heart behind every bottle we make. 🍷

If you've been meaning to come in, consider this your sign.

Watermill Winery has two tasting rooms: Watermill On the Ave in Wenatchee, and Watermill on Broadway in Milton-Freewater, right at the edge of The Rocks District. Two settings, same estate wines, same warm welcome. 🍷

We pour from five vineyards we farm ourselves. Hallowed Stones Syrah. Estate Malbec. Rosé. And more — poured by people who genuinely love talking about them.

You don't need to know wine to love it here. You just need to show up.

Twenty-five years of farming estate vineyards. Of making wines in volcanic basalt and silt loam and every difficult, rewarding corner of two appellations. Of sending bottles out into the world and seeing what comes back.

What comes back: 95pt Gold from Decanter. 96pt Platinum from Great Northwest Wine. Triple Double Gold from the Seattle Wine Awards. Fabulous Four Pacific Northwest Wineries of the Year. Double Golds from the San Francisco Chronicle.

We don’t make wine for the accolades. But we won’t pretend they don’t mean something.

25 years in. Still earning it. 🍷

Meet Jack Klipfel — the person who knows these vines better than anyone.

As Watermill’s Viticulturist and Vineyard Manager, Jack oversees more than 130 acres of estate vines across five vineyard sites in two of the Pacific Northwest’s most distinct appellations. He came to us with a background in plant sciences from WSU, time in USDA research, and years in the field with Gallo. But what you’ll notice when you walk the rows with him is that the credentials almost feel beside the point — he just knows this land.

Right now, we’re deep into the growing season. Every decision made in the vineyard this time of year directly shapes what ends up in the bottle. Jack doesn’t take that lightly.

When he’s not in the rows, you’ll find him on a mountain. Which honestly makes sense — farming estate vines in The Rocks District takes the same kind of patience, physical commitment, and love of difficult terrain.

This is who’s taking care of your wine.

We're proud — and honestly, a little grateful the judges were paying attention.

Most wineries buy grapes. We grew ours. 🍇

Not because it's easier — it isn't. But because when you farm the ground yourself, something changes. You stop thinking about wine in vintages and start thinking in seasons. In soil. In the specific way the basalt cobblestones at Hallowed Stones hold heat long after the sun goes down, or the way the Anna Marie Vineyard has looked in October since we planted it in 2001.

Five estate vineyards. Two AVAs. Every grape we make grown on ground we know by heart.

This is where it all begins. Swipe to meet each site — and the wines that come from them.
