William Church Winery

Rod and Leslie

William Church Winery is a family-owned boutique winery located in Woodinville, Washington. Founded in 2005, it is one of the newer wineries to join a group of wineries at the northern end of Woodinville, affectionately called the Woodinville Warehouse District. William Church currently produces a Viognier, a Syrah, a Malbec, a red wine blend called Bishiop's Blend, and a premium quality Cabernet Sauvignon, all with limited production.

Creating exceptional wines using the highest quality grapes is what William Church strives to achieve every time they produce a wine. Since so much of winemaking starts with the grapes, William Church continually searches for the best vineyards in the state and the region's most sought-after fruit. William Church believes they have found many of these sources using a combination of established vineyards and some rising newcomers.
