Signature Wines and Wineries of Washington
They grew the estate to 120 acres in the Red Mountain AVA and
continue to be stewards of this great land by producing wines
with a global audience.
Now, the beautifully landscaped winery not only features a
comfortable tasting area, but also a French farm kitchen and an
enclosed stone veranda referred to as the Champagne salon—
all replete with rustic charm. To complete the Old-World aura,
the biodynamic farm also includes a chicken chateau with a
courtyard adjacent to the organic garden and tranquil pond.
No wonder Hedges Family Estate has been voted as one of only
five American wineries that make you think you are in Europe
(the other four being in Napa Valley).
