Whitman Hill Winery was born of a shared love of the land and a deep agricultural heritage spanning generations. For the Whitman family, farming has always been more than a livelihood; it is a way of life rooted in stewardship, hard work, and connection to place.

Before establishing Whitman Hill, Scott and Denise Whitman co-owned a winery on Washington’s west side, sourcing grapes from the Yakima Valley and becoming deeply connected to the quality and character of its fruit. Their first wines for that project were made humbly in their garage, a fitting start for a hands-on, family-driven venture that later inspired the Garage wines—a collection at Whitman Hill that reflects the same creativity, determination, and roll-up-your-sleeves spirit. When the opportunity arose in 2020 to acquire property in Zillah, they seized it, choosing to grow and craft wines where the vineyards could be farmed under their own care and vision.
