Serendipity and Maryhill Winery

     What was a stroke of serendipity for Vicki and Craig Leuthold, owners of today's Maryhill Winery, was at the same time a partial fulfillment of Sam Hill's legacy. Known as the King of Roads in the Northwest's early 20th century, the visionary road builder had another strong, but little-known, interest. He was determined to have his own vineyard. A number of fateful incidents defied his several attempts to buy or plant a vineyard. Only relatively recently have the hills of what was known as Sam Hill Country been blanketed by vineyards, many of which were planted for and sourced by today’s Maryhill Winery Estate Wines.

     With serendipity on their side, the Leutholds experienced a number of chance events that led to the development and 2001 opening of the destination winery of their dreams. Few places in the historic Northwest Territory resonate with such power as does the spectacular, elevated stretch of Columbia Gorge land that became home to the Maryhill Winery and the surrounding vineyards. From the start, Vicki and Craig's intention was to celebrate, honor and share the powerful beauty of this relatively isolated location through the activities of their one-of-a-kind winery.

     A true sense of hospitality is the driving force behind all things Maryhill. “We wanted people to remember us," says co-owner Vicki Leuthold, “...to remember what a lovely day they had with us and how much they enjoyed our wines.”

     Maryhill’s breathtaking natural views in the eastern end of the Columbia River Gorge make a visit hard to forget. Both outdoor and indoor vantage points overlook the green of vineyards and Maryhill Winery Tasting Roomorchards planted to this high desert land and the blue of the mighty Columbia River below and the dramatic view of Mt. Hood to the southwest. A shady, grapevine-covered terrace frames the same views and offers a memorable venue for enjoying a glass of wine and live music all summer long. Other open-air activities include four tournament-quality bocce ball courts with an adjacent covered patio, plenty of tables and terraced lawns for picnicking.

     Maryhill's Winery in the Gorge offers two tasting rooms – the largest (3,000-square feet) containing a well-stocked gift shop, and the Reserve Room (an additional 1,200-square feet) offering tastings of library wines as well as small-lot and limited-production wines. Both tasting venues use Gorge-facing walls of glass to take full advantage of the near-fairytale setting outside. Visitors will find a rich diversity of wines… more than 50 varietals sourced from vineyards throughout the region’s many AVAs. Thanks to a friendly and knowledgeable staff, visitors can count on being guided through an enjoyable and educational wine tasting experience at Maryhill.

     A rapidly growing demand for Maryhill wines and an ever-increasing number of visitors at the winery and tasting room in the Columbia Gorge convinced Vicki and Craig Leuthold it was time to add a second tasting room to the Maryhill family. Where to locate the new facility? Maryhill's winery and tasting rooms in Columbia Gorge Wine Country were an ideal setting for a destination Maryhill Spokane balconywinery; taking advantage of a relatively isolated location, perched along the spectacularly beautiful Columbia River Gorge off a two-lane highway. But where might a second Maryhill wine tasting facility be situated?  

       The idea of having an easier-to-reach urban setting for a second wine tasting room had been simmering for quite some time. In fact, the Leutholds had been watching with great interest as their own hometown - The City of Spokane - worked with a developer to transform a beautifully sited old industrial rail yard into an upscale, mixed-use urban community. Integrating businesses, homes, gathering places and trails, Kendall Yards was created and became a striking intersection of urban culture with a stunning natural environment... and a second home for Maryhill Wines as well.

       The unique and beautiful urban community that is today Kendall Yards was just the atmosphere the Leutholds sought for a second Maryhill... a location consistent with the ethos that had become a Maryhill calling card. A dramatic sense of place is central to Maryhill's philosophy of creating memorable and relaxing tasting experiences for all who visit; their second tasting room is founded on the same philosophy. Maryhill at Kendall Yards is definitely a destination tasting room.

       Vicki and Craig Leuthold opened the doors of their new and spacious tasting room in Kendall Yards' stunning urban district in 2017. The drama of the interior's large open space and its adjoining outdoor balcony match that of the picturesque Spokane River below and its downtown cityscape beyond. Maryhill's second tasting room offers the same world-class experience and high-quality affordable wines as can be found at its headquarters in Columbia Gorge wine country.

       Choose from Maryhill's  curated flights available daily in the Main Tasting Room at Kendall Yards or on weekends in the Premium Club Room if you are a Maryhill Club Member. Tasting fees range from $10 to $20, depending on which tasting room experience you choose. Premium Wine Club membership entitles you to waived tasting fees in both the Main and Reserved Tasting Rooms.

The Wines and the Winemaker

Learn more about the vineyards used by Maryhill.

       Maryhill Winery and its surrounding vineyards are located in an exceptional climate for growing the highest quality wine grapes.  With warm summer days, cool nights, moderate winters and dependable breezes, the area supports a wide variety of grapes, including several difficult-to-grow varieties often stunted in many of Washington State’s other regions.  Focused on producing a wide variety of affordable, quality wines, Maryhill contracts with other select growing partners as well, not only from the Columbia Valley and Columbia Gorge AVAs, but also from the Horse Heaven Hills, the Yakima and Walla Walla valleys, the Red Mountain and the Wahluke Slope, always looking to showcase the rich and diverse characters of each unique growing region. 

       "I've worked with many different varieties and blends," notes winemaker Richard Batchelor, "both in my native New Zealand and throughout the Napa and Sonoma Valleys.  I am constantly impressed by the quality and diversity of the grapes we have to work with here in Washington State.  We're in a unique position, being able to create more than 50 top-quality wines from grapes grown within this region." 

       Batchelor was named "Winemaker of the Year" by Indy International in 2013, and Maryhill was added to the 2014 list of "Top 10 Wineries of the World" published by the World Association of Wine Writers & Journalist.  Batchelor was also at the winemaking helm when Maryhill Winery was deemed International Winery of the Year in 2014 by San Francisco International Wine Competition, and Winery of the year in 2015 by Wine Press Northwest.
