Bonair Winery

Bonair Winery is one of the Rattlesnake Hills AVA's founding producers, farming estate vineyards on the basalt-covered volcanic benches south of the Yakima River. The Rattlesnake Hills benefit from higher elevation than the valley floor, producing red wines of greater structure and aromatics. Bonair focuses on Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay that express the region's volcanic mineral complexity and moderate temperatures.

As a Rattlesnake Hills pioneer, Bonair Winery demonstrates the distinctive character of this elevated Yakima Valley sub-AVA, producing wines that benefit from the basalt bench's heat retention and the elevation's cooling influence on aromatic development.
