The Rocks District of Milton-Freewater

Established in 2015, the Rocks District of Milton Freewater AVA is defined by soils loaded 200 to 300 feet deep with big round cobblestones that radiate heat to the vines and are exceptionally well-drained.

The Vineyards are entirely on one landform — an alluvial fan produced by the Walla Walla River. No other AVA in the U.S. can claim one landform and one soil series (Freewater).

Its 300 acres are home to Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon.
