We recently visited the tasting room of Coyote Canyon Winery which is located in Prosser, WA. This is a little piece of Heaven. We were fortunate to visit this tasting room on two different occasions and both times the place was packed. Feel free to step right up to the bar (if there is room) and enhance your wine experience as their gracious staff take you through a journey of “life in wine” with their selection of handcrafted, 100% estate grown wines. 

The Coyote Canyon Vineyard was founded in 1994 and is owned by Bob Andrews, Mike Andrews and Jeff Andrews. Mike Andrews is also the winemaker, officially starting the winery in 2006, using fruit from their 2004 harvest. Coyote Canyon is one of those rare wineries using 100% estate grown grapes from a single AVA (Horse Heaven Hills).

Mike is a third generation owner of the land on which his vineyards grow. For 40 years, the Andrews’ Horse Heaven Hereford Ranch raised premier Hereford cattle. The land has also grown sugar beets, asparagus, apples and now grapes. They own 1,125 acres on which are planted some of the most coveted grapes in all of Washington State.

Mike has a gift for making wine and it really shows in the wines he is now releasing. He recently took a total of 7 awards at the 2009 Seattle Wine Awards.

Coyote Canyon Winery is a reflection of the Andrews Family's liflong tradition of cultivating the land. Located in south central Washington State and the heart of the Horse Heaven Hills AVA, this unique terroir and climate has nutured Coyote Canyon Vineyard's award winning premium grapes since 1994.  Mike's love for the land and his desire for perfection in attending to the smallest wineyard detail is reflected in every glass of Coyote Canyon's premier wine.
