In the winery’s own words, via the Walla Walla Valley Wine Alliance member profile:
Watermill Winery would like to welcome you to the southern reaches of the exquisite Walla Walla Valley and the Rocks District of Milton-Freewater. The winery is located in the historic Watermill Building and was one of the first wineries in Milton-Freewater, Oregon, just 10 miles from downtown Walla Walla. Run by the 3rd generation of local farmers, Watermill focuses on estate-grown Bordeaux varieties from the Walla Walla Valley and Rhone varieties from the Rocks District, which we present to you in our tasting room or by appointment on a tour of our vineyards or cellars.
Small plates and lighter fare food options are available. We can also do catered lunches and dinners for small private events. Please contact shannon@watermillwinery.com for more details and booking information.
