About Winderlea Vineyard & Winery
Ownership passed to the Ricci family in early 2026; founders Bill Sweat and Donna Morris remain central to the estate story below. Winderlea Vineyard and Winery occupies one of the most storied sites in the Dundee Hills, the former Goldschmidt Vineyard planted in 1974 that produced some of the appellation's earliest acclaimed Pinot Noirs. Owners Bill Sweat and Donna Morris purchased the property and built a modern, LEED-certified winery that combines cutting-edge sustainability with deep respect for the vineyard's four-decade heritage. The estate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay consistently earn scores above.
The tasting room on Worden Hill Road features floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the historic vineyard blocks and the valley below. Seated tastings are guided and intimate, and the views from the terrace are among the finest in the Dundee Hills.
