Award-Winning Yakima Valley Winery & Tasting Experiences
Chandler Reach represents two generations of family dedication to crafting exceptional estate wines in Washington's Yakima Valley. Founded in 1997 following owner Len Parris' inspiration from an Italian journey, our winery cultivates authentic wine experiences rooted in Tuscan traditions. Our 42-acre Benton City vineyard produces premium varietals like Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, while our Woodinville tasting room extends accessibility to Seattle wine enthusiasts. Over two decades of viticultural expertise inform our small-lot winemaking approach, which emphasizes food pairing education and immersive vineyard experiences. The 2005-built Italian-inspired Villa houses our original tasting room and event space, complemented by a second location in Woodinville's Hollywood District since 2014.Our commitment to quality extends to community engagement through charitable initiatives like the Christmas Presence wine program supporting ovarian cancer research. The winery maintains strict quality control through estate grape cultivation and hands-on production oversight. Visitor experiences range from casual tastings to guided vineyard tours with curated antipasto pairings. Our dual locations accommodate both intimate tastings and larger events while preserving the warmth of family hospitality.

A beautiful wine tasting experience! The staff are amazing, the wines are brilliant. I favor fruit foreward red wines which is a perfect description of Chandler Reach wines. The wine clubs and club events are always fun. Highly recommend.

Chandler Reach makes wonderful wines. I am an Italian Red fan and Chandler makes some of my favorites. The Brevetatta and the Villa Rosso Sangiovese Blend top the list. Amazing every time. The customer care is wonderful. Their Woodinville location is always so clean and neat. Be sure to ask for the Mary Kay special if you like to drink pink on a hot day(or anytime). Sunday afternoons are a great time to visit.
