William Church Winery was established in 2005. After many years in the high-tech industry we never dreamed we would take our passion for wine to create William Church Winery. But when Rod left the corporate world in 2004 we decided to take our garage based winemaking efforts to a higher level to produce premium wines that he could share with others who love wine as much as we do. As Seattle natives (and WSU Cougars) we started to look into where to establish a winery and were happy to find a booming wine industry practically in our backyard in Woodinville, Washington.

The inspiration for William Church Winery came about to honor and acknowledge the legacy of our families on both sides. We are dedicated to making wine that is inviting and aproachable, that is great with food but can stand alone, and perhaps most important, contains the complexity and structure found in truly great wine. The rose window design from French Gothic architecture signifies the beauty, completeness, and balance we strive to achieve.
