Upchurch Vineyard - Benton City

Upchurch's Red Mountain estate is a boutique producer visit centered on Bordeaux-style Washington reds and a quieter, more personal pace than the busier neighboring tasting rooms. Reservations are not required, but the winery encourages them because the space is small, and the estate setting makes the visit feel closer to the source than a generic satellite room. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are the clear anchors, reflecting Chris Upchurch's long-running focus on Red Mountain fruit and structured, cellar-worthy blends. For discovery, this should read as a small-scale Red Mountain tasting for guests who want boutique Bordeaux-inspired wines and are happy to plan ahead a bit.
