Dowsett Family Winery

Dowsett Family Winery is a Washington State winery located in Walla Walla, with a history dating back to the early 1980s when Chris Dowsett's family purchased one of Oregon's oldest vineyards on David Hill in the Willamette Valley. The family has since expanded their vineyard from 12 to 26 acres and created a winery with partners. They are known for their distinctive wines, which are carefully crafted using selectively-picked vineyards that perfectly express the varietals they produce. Their approach involves handpicked, small lots with complete attention to detail, including whole cluster pressing and fermentation in individual lots for their white wines, and punching down by hand for their red wines. The winery's signature style is evident in their Gewürztraminer, which has received high praise from experts, with one review noting that Celilo Vineyard is arguably the finest location in Washington for growing this varietal. Their wine portfolio includes a range of styles, including Pinot Noir, Blanc de Noir, Two Magpies Red Blend, Georgia Rose, and Gewürztraminer. The winery's wines are available for purchase directly through their website, with options to buy online or visit their cellar address in Walla Walla (note: no current tasting room). Dowsett Family Winery is a family-run operation that prides itself on its dedication to quality and attention to detail, from vineyard to bottle.
