Domaine Côte Bonneville was founded in 1989, when owners Hugh and Kathy Shiels planted their first vine. Since then, the estate has grown and now stretches across about 45 hectares of exceptional soil. The estate is nestled on a hill, offering panoramic views of the valley and Mount Adams, providing an ideal backdrop for a romantic wine tasting or a peaceful stroll. What sets Domaine Côte Bonneville apart even more is its unwavering commitment to sustainable farming.

The wines of Domaine Côte Bonneville are a true expression of their terroir. Each bottle tells a story, that of their family, their estate, and the Yakima Valley itself. The estate is best known for its red wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah, although white wine varieties like Chardonnay are also produced. These wines are often described as elegant and complex, emphasizing the richness and intensity of the fruit, while retaining a refreshing acidity. They are designed to be enjoyed right now, but they also age gracefully, gaining complexity and depth over time. The wine tasting experience at Domaine Côte Bonneville is just as impressive as their wines.
