Pioneer of American excellence, accessible charm, and international boldness

Renowned as the oldest and one of the most prestigious wineries in Washington State, Château Ste. Michelle embodies the ambition to elevate American wines to the ranks of the greats. From its magnificent French-inspired pavilion in Woodinville, the brand shines globally, with a range that combines innovation, terroir, and accessible pleasure. A showcase ally of the state, a world-renowned partner (Col Solare, Eroica Riesling), it is the ideal choice for discerning and adventurous enthusiasts.

Terroir & grape varieties

With 3,500 acres of vineyards in the Columbia Valley, the estate benefits from a sunny continental climate with cool nights, ideal for preserving fruity intensity and freshness. The grape varieties grown include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, and iconic selections like Eroica Riesling (in collaboration with Ernst Loosen).

Viticulture & winemaking

Modern, precise, and environmentally friendly practices: controlled irrigation, high-quality vines, manual harvesting for premium cuvées. Winemaking by parcels, controlled fermentations, adapted aging (barrel, steel, foudre), according to the desired style.
