Powers Winery - Washington, U.S.A.

Powers Winery was founded by Bill Powers. Bill was drawn from his boyhood in​ Oklahoma to the region’s spectacular farm country in the 1950s, and after years of farming multiple crops, he planted our estate, Badger Mountain Vineyard, in 1982.

From our inaugural release of Powers wines in 1992, Powers winery has remained committed to crafting concentrated, structured, and age-worthy wines, while practising and innovating environmental, community, and fiscal sustainability.

Highly respected for his progressive techniques and farming expertise, Bill has twice been honoured by his colleagues at the Washington Association of Wine Grape Growers (WAWGG). Bill was named 1996 Washington Wine Grape Grower of the Year for his excellent recovery of the vineyard after a devastating freeze. In 2007, Bill received a Lifetime Achievement Award. At that time, the honour had only been bestowed three times since the organization began in 1983. In 2010 he was honoured by the Walter Clore Center as a "Legend of Washington Wine" and was inducted into the Hall of Fame. The Washington wine industry lost a pioneer when Bill passed away in September 2014, but his legacy will continue to live on with his extended Winery “family”.

Bill's legacy continues with our dynamic winemaking team, and long-time grower partnerships, that allow us to continue to showcase Washington State’s diverse microclimates and distinctive vineyards. Our Reserve selections showcase bottlings from individual vineyard sites and highlight differences between growing regions throughout the State. All Powers wines reflect a devotion, experience and integrity that result in products worthy to carry the family name.

"If you can do something good, you should do it." - The late Bill Powers

Our comprehensive approach to sustainability comes from a long-held belief that we are responsible not only to the land from which the fruit comes but also to our employees, grower partners and to the larger communities in which we operate. We believe that stewardship in the vineyard, the winery and the community is rewarded with better wines, but more importantly, we believe it is simply the right thing to do. We utilize both tradition and technology to produce compelling wines with a sustainable approach. As a continuation of our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint, we have adopted and developed greener energy alternatives wherever possible.
