Wine tastings and locally made wines in a stylish tasting room with knowledgeable staff and a welcoming vibe.
Water Canyon Winery sits right in Springdale, making it an easy stop between your hikes and your hotel. The tasting room itself is polished and inviting, with staff who actually know their wines and enjoy talking about them. You'll taste through their lineup in a space that feels both refined and relaxed, which is harder to pull off than it sounds.
The wines are made on-site, and the owner is often there pouring. He's genuinely passionate about what he's making, and that comes through in conversation. The Petite Syrah gets particular love from repeat visitors, though the whole selection is solid and reasonably priced for the quality you're getting. It's the kind of place where you come in for a quick glass and end up staying longer because the conversation is good and the wine tastes better than you expected.
If you're staying in one of the condos upstairs, you've basically got a wine bar on your doorstep, which is a nice way to end a day in the canyon. Even if you're not staying there, it's worth the detour on your way through town. Bring a friend, try a flight, and let the staff point you toward something you'll actually want to bring home.

We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary in the Zion National Park area and, why not, spot a winery! We opted to stay outside and enjoy a wine tasting with charcuterie, and we were pleasantly surprised by the variety of flavors offered and the incredible scenery! We ended up taking home a bottle of the Orange wine, which had such a unique flavor and palate. We'll definitely stop by again when we're back in Zion!

I was very impressed with every wine I tried here. They were all excellent. Service was great too. There isn't much parking so I suggest you walk to this one, though we did get lucky on a Thursday.

If you are in Springdale this is a must visit place! Wine was fabulous, ambiance was lovely and comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful. Charcuterie was also fantastic. Can not recommend enough. Want to pick up this place and take it home so I could visit all the time.

The Water Canyon Winery was an excellent find in small town of Springdale on the doorstep of Zion NP! My wife and I came across it as we were walking around town. We were immediately warmly greeted by “Emma” who showed us the available wine flights for tasting. We ordered two different flights, essentially tasting all the wines. We were not disappointed! When serving the “Unoaked”, Emma encouraging us to taste the wine as is. She then handed us each a tiny block of oak which we dropped into the glass and waited two minutes. Woila; the wine was completely transformed! That was just too cool (and fun)! We ended going back a second time after a long day of hiking, a wonderfully refreshing end to the day. Very relaxing “vibe” and wonderful staff, Emma was so kind! Highly recommend stopping in after walking around town or after hiking in Zion!

Absolutely loved this spot. We stopped in for a glass of wine and ended up staying longer just because the vibe was so good. The wine was excellent—great selection, and really well priced for the quality. The girl behind the bar was amazing—super friendly, easy to talk to, and made the whole experience feel really personal. You can tell it’s a family-owned place, and that just adds to the charm. It’s got that warm, welcoming energy that’s hard to find these days. No frills, no pressure, just good people, good drinks, and a great atmosphere. If you’re in Zion and looking for a place to wind down after a day of hiking or sightseeing, definitely stop here. We didn’t try the food, but if it’s anything like the service and wine, I’m sure it’s just as great. Easily one of the best little spots we found on our trip. Support local—this place deserves it.
