Wilridge is the first and still the only certified Organic and Biodynamic Vineyard, Winery & Distillery in Washington State. Wilridge was first certified Organic and Biodynamic in 2007 and has remained committed to these strict standards ever since.
The unique microclimate of the Naches Heights AVA, characterized by its arid conditions and minimal precipitation during the growing season, provides a natural shield against the threat of rot and pests. With little to no rain during harvest, our orchards remain resilient, ensuring the integrity of our fruit as it ripens to perfection.
Nestled within the protective embrace of the Cascade mountain range, Wilridge’s Estate Vineyard and Orchard thrives amidst the sun-kissed landscapes of the Naches Heights AVA. Our orchards, carefully tended and nurtured, benefit from over 300 days of sunshine each year, creating an ideal environment for grapevines, pear trees, apple orchards, and a variety of other fruit-bearing trees.
Water management lies at the heart of our agricultural practices, with Wilridge exercising total control over the irrigation of our vines and trees. By carefully managing water resources, we not only optimize growth and fruit quality but also minimize the need for chemical interventions, further enhancing the health and vitality of our orchards.
At Wilridge, our commitment to organic and biodynamic principles extends to every facet of our farming practices, from soil health to biodiversity conservation. By fostering a balanced ecosystem within our orchards, we cultivate a symbiotic relationship between the land and its inhabitants, promoting resilience and sustainability for generations to come.
Transitioning seamlessly from the bountiful harvests of our orchards, Wilridge extends its dedication to craftsmanship and sustainability to the realm of spirits. Utilizing the diverse array of fruits harvested from our apple, pear, plum, apricot, and quince orchards, we distill exquisite brandies and liqueurs that capture the essence of our terroir. Each sip is a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality and innovation, as we continue to push the boundaries of artisanal spirit-making in harmony with the rhythms of nature.
