BOLD DREAMS WITH HUMBLE ROOTS

We are an independent, family-built winery in the heart of Washington State’s history, producing globally recognized wines for 45 years.

Our Heritage

A Legacy of Craft

Founded in 1981 by Rick and Darcey Small, Woodward Canyon was born from a simple vision: to craft wines that express the unique terroir of the Walla Walla Valley. Today, we continue that tradition as one of Washington’s pioneering wineries.

From our Estate Vineyard, planted in 1977, to our careful stewardship of the land, every bottle reflects our commitment to quality and our deep connection to this remarkable region.

“It doesn’t seem possible that Woodward Canyon is 45 years old. When Darcey and I started this, we never thought about time – just work and grapes and wine and the kids. Failure was never in our vocabulary, neither was longevity, just quality. Today, I feel exactly as I did in 1981. It’s been an amazing ride and fortunately, it ain’t over yet.”
