Ryan Patrick Vineyards has three Estate Vineyards providing the majority of fruit for our wines.

Bishops

20 acre Bishops Vinyard viewed from east cliffs

Planted in 1996, the 20 acre Bishops Vineyard, is situated west of Quincy, Washington on the Babcock Bench with vertical basalt cliffs rising 300 feet above the Columbia River. Marine influences from the river and heat retentive effects of the cliffs combine with deep loamy soil, creating the ideal site for wine grapes to thrive. 20 acres of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay are planted at Bishops.

Homestead

Established in 1998 on the Flanagan Family Estate near Quincy, Washington, Homestead consists of 20 acres of Chardonnay vines, some of the first planted in the region. Deep loamy soil allows for moisture retention while long growing seasons ripen exceptional fruit resulting in well balanced and food friendly wines. The Chardonnay from Homestead Vineyard ranked amongst the top five wines in the Annual Washington CEO Tasting for the last two years running.

Vivian's

View of Columbia Gorge and Vivian's Vinyard

Our newest vineyard is located near Trinidad on southern slopes overlooking the Columbia Gorge. Known as "Vivian's Vineyard," it is planted in the European style, (3-foot spacing,) and is cane pruned. This style makes each vine struggle for soil nutrients and water, thereby minimizing canopy growth. Plants focus all of their energy in producing the fruit. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Barbera and Nebbiolo grapes were harvested here for the first time in 2002.
