About NHV
Naches Heights Vineyard sits on land that has been in the Cline family for over 75 years. What began as an apple and pear operation in the heart of Yakima has grown into one of Washington's most recognized small wineries, rooted in three generations of farming and a deep commitment to the land they have always called home.
The first wine grapes were planted in the spring of 2002. The first bottles followed in 2006. Since then, Naches Heights Vineyard has earned a reputation for producing wines that genuinely reflect where they come from, winning multiple Double Gold and Gold medals at the 2025 and 2026 Washington, Seattle, Oregon and Idaho Wine Awards.
Phil Cline
Owner, Viticulturist, Big Kahuna
Phil was born in Yakima and raised on the same Naches Heights property where the vineyard stands today. As a third-generation farmer, he spent his career working the land through West Hollywood Farms LLC, managing 252 acres of apples, pears, and wine grapes across nine vineyards in the Yakima Valley.
In 2002, Phil made a bet on wine grapes and on Naches Heights specifically, at a time when almost no one else was paying attention to the area. That instinct paid off. He helped establish the Naches Heights AVA in 2008, putting the region on the map and validating what he had believed all along: that this land grows something special.

Learn About NHV
In 2004, we expanded into vineyard management with the establishment of Two Coyote Vineyard in the Yakima Valley AVA, building the infrastructure to keep skilled crews on the land year-round and source the best fruit for the NHV label.
​
Since then, we have grown from two vineyards and 13 acres to nine vineyards encompassing 150 acres today, cultivating 31 varieties of wine grapes alongside 102 acres of apples and pears. At the center of it all is Abraham Gonzalez, our vineyard manager and trusted partner for over 45 years. There is no one who knows this land better.
