Wawawai Canyon Winery is family owned and operated, and our vineyard is the first commercial vineyard planted in Whitman County since prohibition. Wawawai Canyon Winery developed the vineyard sites and we hand prune the vines, pick the grapes, crush and ferment the juice and age and bottle the wine.  Wawawai Canyon Winery started in 1994 with a test block of twelve different varietals.  Those that flourished in the distinctive climate were planted in the main vineyard, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah,  Sauvingon Blanc and Rkatsiteli.  We have since added Carmenere, Malbec, and Petit verdot for blending.
