ABOUT US Founded in 1999, family-owned Maryhill Winery is the answer to an entrepreneurial dream shared by owners Craig and Vicki Leuthold who saw great potential for a winery in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. Maryhill is perched on the northern side of the Columbia River, against the stunning backdrop of Mt. Hood, in the Southern tip of the Columbia Valley. Today, Maryhill is one of Washington state s largest and most-visited wineries. The year round appeal draws more than 75,000 guests to Maryhill annually, while the region as a whole continues to gain recognition as an emerging wine destination. Maryhill Winery offers visitors more than 50 exceptional, award winning wines and breathtaking panoramic views. Enjoy yourself in the expansive Tasting Room and gift shop, exclusive Reserve Tasting Room with private patio, or on the popular vinecovered, tuscan-style terrace for picnicking. Depending upon the weather, guests can be found snuggling around crackling fire pits on the terrace, standing at the tasting room s original 1900 s quarter sawn Tiger oak Brunswick Bar, or playing Bocce on the tournament-quality courts. Maryhill s location is made for music. Every summer weekend beginning Memorial Day through September musicians perform live music on the terrace. In addition, the 4,000-seat outdoor amphitheater is host to a world-class summer concert series where acts such as Willie Nelson, Counting Crows, Bob Dylan, Styx and Foreigner play to music loving fans.

4 Photo Credit: Washington State Wine Courtesy of Andréa Johnson Maryhill s site has always been rich with history and potential, but it took the vision of Craig and Vicki Leuthold to turn it into a destination winery. OUR STORY The area surrounding Maryhill Winery is steeped in rich history from the Great Missoula floods which created a terroir perfect for growing grapes through its deep, relatively low nutrient and well drained deposits to the entrepreneurial spirit of millionaire attorney and road pioneer, Sam Hill who sought to create an independent farming community named after his wife, Mary, and in turn, built what is now the home to a world-class cultural institution known as the Maryhill Museum. Nearly a century later, Craig and Vicki Leuthold channeled the same entrepreneurial spirit and set out to fulfill their dream of producing premier Washington wines. Originally hailing from Spokane, Washington, Craig and Vicki Leuthold saw great potential for a winery in Goldendale, Washington located at the Southern tip of the Columbia Valley appellation where the area s warm climate, rich Missoula floodplain soil and steady breezes make it an ideal site for growing wine grapes. In 2000, the Leutholds began construction on their winery production facility and tasting room just west of Maryhill Museum on a bluff overlooking Gunkel Vineyard, one of the state s oldest and most established vineyard sites. The Gunkel family has successfully farmed the fertile lands surrounding Maryhill for three generations, growing world-class wine grapes used by the Leutholds and many other Washington state wine producers today. In May 2001, Maryhill Winery opened its doors as a true destination winery, known for its diverse portfolio of exceptional quality and affordable wines, as well as the stunning landscape, a world-class summer concert series and tournament-quality bocce courts. In 2012, the Leutholds completed the expansion of the winery to include an exclusive Reserve Tasting Room to showcase library, small-lot varietals and blends and single-vineyard wines. Named 2015 Pacific Northwest Winery of the Year by Wine Press Northwest, 2014 Winery of the Year by San Francisco International Wine Competition, 2013 Winemaker of the Year by Indy International Wine Competition, 2009 Washington Winery of the Year by Wine Press Northwest and Best Destination Winery by Seattle Magazine, Maryhill produces over 30 varietals to craft over 50 award-winning wines distributed throughout the United States. The family-owned winery welcomes more than 75,000 visitors per year and has more than 3,000 members in its wine club.

OUR WINEMAKING Maryhill Winery produces 80,000 cases annually, partnering with 13 growers and 24 unique vineyard locations in 8 of Washington State s 14 major American Viticultural Areas (AVAs), making it a true representation of the state s wine. Throughout the year, Winemaker Richard Batchelor works closely with local growers to colloborate on growing practices. During harvest Batchelor frequently visits each vineyard to taste for maturity and ripeness - determining the precise moment to handpick each varietal. Great wines are our inspiration. For us, winemaking isn t about lifted noses or highbrow personalities. It is about sourcing the best grapes and treating them with passion, patience and balance. Maryhill is known for its use of a wide variety of grapes to create truly affordable and approachable wines, which showcase the impeccable technique and artistry of the growers who produce them. Batchelor s passion, skill and discipline as a winemaker has been widely celebrated, but he humbly claims that a major factor in what comes out of the bottle is what is delivered from each vineyard. Photo Credit: Nathan Allworth As a fully functoning winery, Maryhill includes a state of the art bottling line and processing facility, a fully-staffed professional laboratory, a barrel room which houses 2,000 90%+ French oak barrels, a crossflow filter and glycol heating and cooling on all tanks. Maryhill employs a permanent cellar staff of 9 including the winemaker, cellar supervisor, an Enologist, as well as a lab assistant and cellar staff. During harvest, Maryhill s staff increases to 18, including international interns and seasonal crew.

Throughout his tenure at Maryhill Winery, Batchelor and his team have developed a winemaking portfolio that sources from nearly every major American Viticultural Area (AVA) in Washington State. He has received numerous accolades for his wines, including most recently earning 2015 Winery of the Year from Wine Press Northwest and 2014 Winery of the Year from San Francisco International Wine Competition.
