Windy Hills Winery

14 Stellar Spots to Sip Wine in Vancouver and Clark County, Washington | Eater Portland

"Windy Hills Winery Tasting Room and Event Center has a country club feel, complete with a stately tasting room surrounded by manicured grounds and a large outdoor space with a vineyard view. Winemaker Bob Mayfield began his wine career as a writer. He shadowed Oregon wine luminary Ken Wright for two years, visiting his vineyards and working every aspect of the crush in 1995 as research for a book he was writing. He similarly learned the craft from Russ Raney of Evesham Wood, and Mayfield often consults with Wright and Raney as a winemaker. Bottles for sale include a crisp, floral 2019 viognier made with grapes from Walla Walla Valley, as well as a 2017 tempranillo with grapes sourced from Chukar Ridge Vineyard in the Columbia Valley. Starters like an antipasto platter and entrees like fish and chips fill the short food menu." - Rachel Pinsky
