About
Woodward Canyon occupies a special place in Washington wine history—this is where Rick Small proved in the early 1980s that Walla Walla could produce Cabernet Sauvignon worth cellaring. The family-owned winery maintains that focus on structure and ageability across their Bordeaux varietals and Chardonnay. The tasting room in Lowden keeps things understated: no flash, no food program, just peaceful grounds and wine that speaks for itself. Visitors consistently note the attentive, unpretentious service—the kind of place where the owner might take you down to the cellar if timing works out. It's walk-in friendly, though a reservation ensures you're not rushed.
