Widgeon Hill Winery

...award winning artistry of wine making at it's finest

Meet Joel Mills

Joel Mills began his career as an amateur winemaker in 1990. His first wines made from Buffalo red grapes and Palomino grapes were a pallatable success, but he wanted to do better. He studied text from the University of California-Davis viticulture program and began making wine with the vinifera grapes from Yakima Valley. By 1994 he was ready to try his hand at commercial wine making. His success began the launch of Widgeon Hill Winery in 1996. His efforts speak for themselves in the award winning and quality fine wines he now produces.
