Your Trusted Source for Premium Estate Wines
For over two decades, Goose Ridge has been dedicated to crafting premium wines rooted in the rich agricultural heritage of Eastern Washington. Founded in 1998 on a sun-drenched hill adjacent to Red Mountain, our estate vineyards benefit from ideal growing conditions, including 300 days of annual sunshine and unique geological features recognized by the TTB in 2021 when Goose Gap became Washington's 19th American Viticultural Area (AVA). Our commitment to sustainable practices spans 2,200 acres of certified vineyards, where we cultivate 16 grape varieties to produce limited-production, handcrafted wines. Beyond our flagship brand, we offer custom services including crush operations, winemaking, bottling, and storage solutions for partners seeking premium wine production.Led by acclaimed winemaker Andrew Wilson, our team combines generational expertise with state-of-the-art facilities to deliver exceptional quality across all production scales. Our family's agricultural legacy dates back to the 1930s, evolving from cattle farming to orchards before establishing this premier vineyard. Today, we continue innovating through Monson Ranch Distillers, creating craft spirits that honor our farming heritage. With tasting rooms in Richland, Woodinville, and Leavenworth, we invite guests to experience our wines firsthand while maintaining rigorous quality control throughout every production stage.

The charcuterie board and truffle fries were delicious! The chardonnay, First Flight red, and all the ciders were to die for!

Beautiful and cozy tasting room, super friendly staff. We went for the first time to celebrate National Bloody Mary day and we were the first customer of the day! The staff was super excited about the handcrafted Mary and Vido Vodka. The brie board we ordered was perfect for brunch!
