Media & Critic Acclaim

Cougar Crest Winery is an estate winery located in Walla Walla, Washington. The “Estate Grown” designation is an important feature of our winery. In order to qualify for this closely regulated designation, our wines are made from grapes grown in our own vineyards and fermented, aged and bottled at our family winery.
