Cayuse Vineyards is a distinguished winery located in the Walla Walla Valley, straddling the border of Oregon and Washington. Founded in 1997 by French vigneron Christophe Baron, the estate is renowned for its Rhône varietals, particularly Syrah, which have garnered critical acclaim, including multiple 100-point ratings from The Wine Advocate.


The vineyards are situated in a unique terroir known as "The Stones," characterized by rocky, well-drained soils that impart distinctive minerality to the wines. Cayuse farms five vineyards covering 47 acres, all cultivated using biodynamic farming methods—a chemical-free approach designed to produce healthier soil and food.
