Long Shadows Winery

Beautiful tasting room. The staff was very friendly and informative. The wines (all reds) where very good using all Washington fruit.

We have visited wineries all over the Pacific Northwest and not only is this wine amazing, our experience in the tasting room on July 12 was not only professional and informative, but the young woman (I believe her name is Shea) was delightful. Her background stories of the poetic wine names and the winemakers involved in each wine were told with evident pride. This tasting was like going to a play and watching a plot develop. Bravo to Long Shadow with regard to its wine and its employee.

This was the star of our weekend tasting in Walla Walla. I wish i remembered the name of the gentleman who served us. He made the experience for me, extremely knowledgeable, and very charismatic. Changed the way I think about blends. The wines are of course incredible, the reds especially, very balanced, and distinct from one another. Great views, window into the production facility from the tasting room, they do it all here. Thanks to the team

Just had the most lovely experience at Long Shadows for a Saturday afternoon tasting. Definitely make reservations, as the tasting room is fabulous and on the day we went was fully booked. The charcuterie/nosh board was extremely varied and all delicious and the wines are absolutely exceptional. Beautiful view from the tasting room and VERY cool Chihuly glass installations. 10/10 experience. Special thanks to Karin who was the guide through our tasting!

The Inside Story experience was worth every penny. Anya was a fantastic host, and the wines we tried were among the best I've had in the Pacific Northwest. Get the charcuterie board, and enjoy one of the most beautiful tasting rooms in the region!

Lovely property and beautiful winery. Great Red Mountain Bordeaux blends, smooth tannins and fulll-character wines. Thank you, Karin, for a wonderful visit!

I had a wine tasting scheduled here, but was not expecting such an exceptional experience. The Chihuly tasting room and countryside view were breathtaking. The wines were delicious (would highly recommend their Cab Sauv, I got 2 bottles!) and the tasting experience was very well done. The employees were so knowledgeable and personable at the same time. Apparently I was their first customer in 5 days! (I guess that’s what you get for visiting in the middle of January haha) They made the experience so enjoyable, would definitely return again.

Long shadows wine quality is amazing! Been coming here for a long time but hadn't been in awhile. Quality hasn't changed and it is still fabulous.

Love this tasting room! It was our first time here at this location. We are frequent at woodinville location. This tasting room Is at a gorgeous location. View is wow Inside and out. We are members so aware of the wines. Service is good. Everyone e is friendly. I would have sat outside if it wasn't 90+ degrees. Highly recommend if in the area .

Cool winery and great service. We had an amazing tasting here and purchased a few bottles for dinner for our small group of six. Very reasonable pricing for what was in the bottle. Hoping to revisit here upon our return the next time.

Long Shadows is one of my favorite Washington wineries. Gilles, the winemaker, is impressively adept at his craft. This is one of the few wineries where I absolutely enjoyed every bottle that I tasted. Feather is my personal favorite bottle, but my friends all had their own! Sequel, Saggi, Piroette, Poet's Leap, and Julia's Dazzle were all favorites among our group. Not only was the wine fantastic but the venue, ambiance, and service were all outstanding. We had a delight talking with Karin throughout the tasting. She was a joy to talk to and incredibly well-versed in every detail over every pour! The room itself feels Chihuly museum paired with a posh living room. The location is just outside of downtown Walla Walla and feels nestled away from the rest of the world in its own moment. I can't wait to come back and feel so grateful to have had the best day and an experience that made this trip one to remember!

Beautiful location and delicious wine. Honestly, each wine I tasted was incredible, and the charcuterie plate was well thought out and well presented. The service was disjointed. First, I was brought out the final wine. No big deal, I like Rose wine. Then a different server started the flight, and did a great job explaining the first two wines. After the second wine, he apparently bowed out because he was "new", even though he was doing a fine job, and a different server took over. Again, no big deal. But she then brought out two white wines at once, even though I was still working on the reds. At one point, I had four pours of wine sitting in front of me and was left alone for a long time. Some thought and care needs to be put into the service here, especially when I'm paying nearly $100 for the experience.

Overall 4.5. Our second visit; first time was during 2020 COVID restrictions. Nice experience with very good wines. Reservation recommended. TASTING AREA: 4.5. Bucolic location high in wheat fields, with nice view to south. Interior room attractive. Though we were indifferent to it, some visitors might enjoy the Chihuly glass artworks. WINES: 4.5. We enjoyed most of the wines served during the Long Shadows tasting, both the reds and the whites, of various varietals. SERVICE: 4.5. They kindly stored the wine we had purchased at a different winery; they placed it in a temperature-controlled room during out stay in order to keep it out of the heat of our sun-warmed auto. The server was knowledgeable, and offered to show us the concrete wine vats (which we accepted). We did feel rushed at times, but this was somewhat aligned with expectations as the reservation clearly stated the expected length of our tasting. Note: one might want to avoid parking in the spaces near the garage-type door. I had to move our car during the tasting as a very large truck arrived and they needed all the parking spaces near that door cleared in order to ease the challenge of backing the truck into the building. (There was no signage restricting parking.)

We were cordially welcomed by Anya, our newlywed wine serving specialist who made us feel like friends enjoying a glass of wine with her. She fielded our sometimes random questions and offered lots of info on the wines, but didn't overwhelm us. We enjoyed a visit from the head wine maker, Gil, who helped us with our French pronunciations and shared some laughs. The patio and tasting room are gorgeous and there are windows through which to watch the winemakers work. And of course, there was a wine for all tastes. My favorite that day was the Juliet Rose' as it was perfect to follow the bicycle ride we did from the winery previous to the tasting. The group especially enjoyed the Syrah which was perfect to sip as we watched the sunset and the shadows lengthen ;)

Great place! The weather was a cold 51 when we visited and a foggy day. Nice tasting room neatly decorated with some works of chihuly. We were informed the owner of the winery is friends with chihuly. As for the wine tasting they had a good combination of mostly red wines. Most of the wine is from other wineries in the area and at least a couple of them were made in collaboration with winemakers from Italy and France. Overall we had a great time.

It was a pleasure to visit Long Shadows today. I participated in a tour and rating in their remote, beautiful location west of Walla Walla. The winery is all about collaboration and learning about the different creative forces that go into their wines was fascinating. The wine is unique, they have a very French influence but also mix up their approaches. Feather and Pedestal were my favorites but I also enjoyed Saggi (Italian) and their flagship Chester-Kidder. Long Shadows was one of my three favorite stops (along with Northstar and Moonbase).

The BEST tasting room experience I've ever had! I work in a tasting room so I do consider myself somewhat experienced and picky AF. Our server was Noah and he was everything I wanted in server! I'm a student of alcohol and he was very knowledgeable and happy to get into cork dork territory. I HIGHLY recommend getting a charcuterie board. Noah and the team pick out items that pair PERFECTLY with their wines. The whole point of pairing is for the food and wine to elevate each other and the effect is quite magical and they've pulled it off spectacularly! I've never had such excellent pairings in a tasting room or on a tour even! I forgot to mention the wines...they are excellent! There's something for every one whether you're a whites, Napa snob, or lover of old world styles. If you're a sweets drinker you've got one option. Although I did notice that Washington wineries are not producing a plethora of sweet styles (where I work there is a very high demand for sweet). Your one option is VERY interesting though as it's botrytized! Very rare to see this style outside of Sauternes or Tokaj. If I were stuck on a desert island and could only pick one tasting room to be on the island Long Shadows would be my pick! Do yourself a favor and visit!!!

Really enjoyed our tasting there. Ended up joining the wine club, which is saying something since I worked in the industry for six years in Sonoma County. Wines are big, complex and age worthy. A little pricier than some, but worth it!

We had some of the best wine and staff we have had at a winery in Washington here. We started with a crisp white that had a good balance of acidity. After that, we had an assortment of reds that all were very smooth and had great tannins. What made this so good was our server who really knew his wine and was very well spoken. You can really tell when someone is passionate about what they are talking about and he definitely was! He was also very generous with the pores and the tasting fees. We were going to get wines anyway but instead of making each person buy wine, he let us wave any of them that added up to the bottles we bought. That being said, the bottles are a bit pricy for our end. They were very good so if you are a wine collector or really appreciate wine it is worth it, but they ranged from $45 - $130 which was a bit high for us. We ended up getting two whites which were very reasonably priced at $20 each. Overall I highly recommend them if you enjoy wine!

Excellent Walla Walla winery. Bonus is the beautiful art they have in their tasting room. Our server Zayne was incredible. He knew so much about the wines, the history, the region. Highly recommend... especially for the cabs if you are visiting Walla Walla.

Note: make a reservation! Better safe to, though every once in awhile you can grab a tasting without one. We went in July and had a wonderful experience. We had gone to the one in Woodinville many times and it was our first time here. First off, it's beautiful. Lots of Chihuly glass artwork and views of the outside fields. You can peer down to their production facility through a large window, where the wines are produced. The lady who did our tasting was friendly, knowledgeable and responsive and didn't pressure us to get our own tasting or buy any wine. It's $20 to taste the flight and more expensive than what most of the other tasting rooms charged in the area, but worth it for the experience and to taste some pretty delicious wines. I've been a huge fan of Feather for years and fell in love with Saggi this time around. Their wines have some pretty cool stories of how they came to be (partnerships with other winemakers from around the globe) and it was interesting to hear them again. Highly recommend!

Wonderful tasting experience! Long Shadows requires reservation, which we had in the beautiful Chihuly Room at a large round table in the middle. The setting was beautiful and pace relaxed. And then the wines.... LS partners with expert winemakers around the world, focusing on the grapes they know and love - unique way of doing it vs. the others. The wines were EXQUISITE from top to bottom -- Feather Cab, Pirouette, Pedestal Merlot, and Chester Kidder... I couldn't decide which ones to buy, and ended up laying down the bucks for the BOX. Well worth the visit!

Our expectations were set high when we booked our visit to Long Shadows Vintners in Walla Walla Washington. Our experience fell short of 5 stars based on our servers knowledge of the wine and in some cases the wine itself. The tasting room and the grounds around the tasting room are beautiful. Our experience included samples of many of the Long Shadow portfolio with the ability to revisit and or try some of the more inexpensive whites. We knew some of the winemakers behind the wines but felt the wines they represented fell short in structure and flavor profile. This is an example of why they say it all starts in the vineyard. These winemakers signature wines represent an area outside of Washington and wines within Washington will in fact take on a different profile than that of such areas as per se Napa. With that said, we did enjoy many that were poured. Our favorite by far was the Sequel. This Syrah was nurtured by the likes of John Duval who's work with Penfold Grange qualifies him as a master in the arts of Syrah. Questions regarding the making of the wines as well as Long Shadows itself were met with some confusion. As we learned, our server was new and his knowledge was very limited in the area of winemaking and the Long Shadows brand itself. Although a very nice person, we were hoping to learn more about Long Shadows and the winemakers inspiration behind the bottles they represented. When we checked out we were happy to learn that the tastings were comped because we purchased a bottle of the Syrah. A big tip was given to our new server and we provided many words of encouragement. Our visit to Long Shadows was a fun experience and well deserving of 4 stars. We might visit again, but will bring some friends along to share the fun.

This winery is unique in it's story. If I remember it correctly, they bring in different winemakers and let them do their thing which allows them to showcase a wide variety of wines. Due to the fact that there is not a single winemaker, it doesn't really have a winery feel to me, it feels more like a fancy tasting room. That being said, the tasting room is beautiful and the decor is meant to make the customer feel that the $20 tasting fee is justified. Our "host" was extremely personable and fun. He loved doing accents and was fun to engage. He certainly made our visit less pretentious than it could have been. We enjoyed the wines we tasted and even managed to find a couple to buy which negated the $20 tasting fee.

After tasting a few WA wines, I was starting to worry that I'd become a Napa Valley snob. But that all changed when we came here! For our group, Long Shadows earned best in class for wine, tour and service. We loved it so much, we also joined their wine club. Their reds were big and bold; their whites were clean and crisp. On the tour, we tasted out of a couple of barrels that were also delicious! And I learned things I never knew before. The chihuly glass in the tasting room was magnificent and it was a relaxing space to enjoy our tasting and gourmet cheese board. Yes, you need to make a reservation but it is so worth it!

Excellent views, service and wine! Enjoyed our tasting and the staff is so friendly. The Chihuly glass installments are amazing. This is a must visit for wine lovers in Walla Walla.

Of the wineries we visited this was our favorite. Karin was knowledgeable and very personable. Nice tasting room and setting with views of the winery through large glass windows. We liked the 2018 Feather cab, the 2020 Cymbal sav blanc.

Long Shadows Vintners is a collection of seven premium Columbia Valley wines all made at this Walla Walla location. Founded in 2003 by Allen Shoup, former executive with wine behemouth Ste. Michelle in Woodinville, whose concept was unique; give some of the world's finest winemakers access to the grapes, ask them to specify requirements for production and invite them each to make a wine at Long Shadows. Looking forward to the chance to sample all of these masters-of-the-craft wines in one place, we still arrived for tasting here as skeptics about the winery. Perhaps in part because Long Shadows' marketing materials tout the Chihuly glass tasting room décor and we wondered if this was going to be a just "too full of themselves" experience introduced by deep pockets from Seattle. We have visited Walla Walla several times over a dozen years and have always enjoyed the grace, lack of pretension and the sense of 'community' at tasting rooms. (As example, our favorites are Pepperbridge, Amavi and Saviah.) But we were fans of the tasting at Long Shadows and recommend it to others as part of the spectrum of Walla Walla winery experiences. We enjoyed the visit, although not likely one we'd repeat as we do tastings at our favorite wineries. THE DRILL: Reservations are required. There are two types of tastings. *Portfolio tasting - $20/person for seated tasting in the Chihuly glass decorated tasting room and you are poured each of the 7 wines made here. Plan an hour for this tasting. *Inside Story tasting - $40 / person starts in the Chihuly tasting room for the 7 wines plus cheese, followed by a tour of the facility and back to the tasting room for additional 'special selections'. In either case the tasting fee is refundable with a purchase of $40 / person. Bottle prices range from $20 to $65 for 750ml. Magnums available in some as well. SERVICE: Alex was the wine room host who poured for us, a young man who was cordial and also wise about winemaking and these wines to answer our questions. His hospitality added to the experience. Pours were paced just right, we were not rushed, we were asked if we wanted to revisit any of the tastings as we decided on our purchases and given there was no reservation behind us needing our seats, we were invited to linger as long as we liked. WINES: Many of the wines are sold out for retail purchase, but bottles have been held in reserve for purchases by customers of the wine tasting for tasting room sales. All of the wines were wonderful to taste; reds will need a little cellaring to be perfect. *Gilles Nicault, the winemaker responsible for the splendid Poet's Leap Riesling poured here (and at a bargain price of only $20 / bottle) is director of winemaking oversees operations of the winery, He also makes the Chester-Kidder, a Cab / Syrah blend (name derived from surnames of two female relatives dear to Allen Shoup) and Saggi, a Sangiovese / Cab blend. *Randy Dunn makes Feather Cabernet Sauvignon *John Duval makes Sequel Syrah *Philippe Melka makes Pirouette, a Bordeaux blend *Michel Rolland makes Pedestal Merlot FACILITY: Located on the west side of town, up the hill from Cougar Crest winery. The tasting room sits on a rise and parking is down below it. There is a staircase bordered by a cement path ramp, so if you can't hike stairs (I can't as I have MS) the ramp is available. The tasting room is lovely with views all around and a Chihuly art piece hanging from the ceiling, two others in front corners and another at floor level in the front window. We are fans of Dale Chihuly's work. It was delightful to have some here. You can also see down into the production and barrel room from a big window at the inside wall of the tasting room. Seating is at tables and also at small sofas and easy chairs and it is assigned prior to your arrival. So take a look at the tasting room photos and if you have specific seating in mind, ask when you make reservations. There were also some cement tables on an outside patio. There was inclement weather on the day of our visit; don't know if they use them in summer good weather months. ACCESSIBILITY: One ADA parking spot in the lot. Long ramp up to the door. Tasting room is on one level. Most seating is at standard height tables or coffee table height. Loo is accessible. Don't know if the tour is accessible as I didn't take it. WINERY NEIGHBORS: Nearby westside winery neighbors include Cougar Crest, Reininger and L'Ecole. NEARBY EATS: Cugini is not too far from these west side locations. Walla Walla Italian family owned and operated, open Wed thru Fri 10-6 and Sat 10-5 for market sales. Serving great sandwiches, assortment of cheese and salumi and Italian meals for take out or eat in between 10:30 and 4:30.

Yikes. I guess we weren't good enough to be acknowledged by this winery. (Don't judge finances by shorts)

Great facility. Website reported 5:00 closing; we arrived at 4:06. The "greeter" immediately stated wine tasting ends at 4:00. We stated we'd simply like a glass of wine; she enlisted a server. She brought a taste of Chardonnay. We did not care for it (prefer totally un-oaked). We sat for 10 minutes without further acknowledgement. When our server came back, we let her know we felt like we were intruding. She asked if we'd prefer outdoor seating. We moved outdoors & a different server brought us a taste of cab (while chastising the fact we did not care for the Chardonnay ). We did not care for the cab. Without further interaction, we felt unwelcome. We left $40.00 and departed. Our main objection...we did not feel welcome, and we were ignored. In all, we consumed less than an ounce of wine.

Two visits over three days affirms their five star status. The facility itself is drop-dead gorgeous. It's architecturally interesting, spotlessly clean and features an extensive Chihuly art glass exhibit in the tasting room. A perfect environment for what was to follow. Alex Ponnaz - gives one heck of a tour. He is very knowledgeable and shares as much information as you wish to absorb. He was also very generous on the wines he suggested we taste from barrel. Gives a great tasting. Another shout out to Nina Depiesse who invited and encouraged us to come back on Saturday to meet Gilles Nicault director of winemaking. We did and had a really wonderful visit. This was a warm and wonderful visit. Oh - we're almost newbies to Long Shadows. And still so genuinely welcoming. Favorite wines to us included Sequel, a club only selection and Poets Leap a screaming value. This is it don't miss it one to read a visit if you find your way to Walla Walla!

I enjoyed visiting this winery during Holiday Barrel, but there are a couple reasons why I probably won't return. The first being the appointment thing, luckily we didn't have to make an appointment since they were open to all for Holiday Barrel. But if we would have, that might have been a deal breaker. The other was that the tasting fee was $15 instead of the $10 we experienced at other area wineries. That's fine, but then I was told I needed to spend $200 in order to get my tasting fee reimbursed. I thought that was kind of high as well. Again most places are just a bottle. Their wine was quite good, just a little out of the price range I am comfortable spending. All that said, the winery was beautiful and the staff was very nice. Their snack bites were the best of all the wineries we visited that day as well! I think it was a good experience and I am glad we went, I just probably don't need to go again.

We visited Long Shadows for spring release. Beautiful winery with spectacular art. The tasting fee was a little high for Walla Walla, but this is a high end winery. They also had a nice spread of nibbles. For the spring release, they had multiple tasting stations set up throughout their production area, as well as small tables where you could stand and chat. We especially enjoyed the 2014 Pirouette (cabernet around $60/bottle) and their 2016 Julia's Dazzle Rose (about $20/bottle, which has become our summer favorite. The Poet's Leap Reisling was also good at around $20. We should have joined the club and are looking forward to a return visit!

Outstanding wine with a wonderful all around tasting experience. The staff is knowledgeable and pleasant with a fun and engaging style. The facility is beautiful and land spacious. The winemaker, Gilles, even made time to talk with us. All around great experience.

You know there are many wonderful places to taste wine in Walla Walla, but this is not one of them. We went over to taste today and the girl that was pouring said they were full, although she had only 3 tables of two seated. We asked about availability tommorrow and she said she thought they were full. Totally arrogant attitude. We've been wine tasting for over 20 years and have never run into snootiness such as that. Disgusted.

Had a recommendation to go, a couple with us were planning on joining the club. We arrived and treated horribly by tasting room attendant. Will NOT be back and certainly won't be joining the club. With all the good tasting rooms and vineyards , nobody needs to be treated so poorly.

Wines were great but service was poor. Try some great WA wines elsewhere, see Chihuly art in Seattle..... Once seated, the non-consistent staff could not keep track of what we had tasted and where we were. They had limited info on each wine and were not conversational. Just directed us to the tasting sheets. Only winery we visited that asked nothing about us. It was like pulling teeth to get info from the staff. Poor acoustics in the room meant we could only hear the table of ten and not each other :( Overall, one of the least enjoyable experiences out of numerous winery visits in Walla Walla.

Holy crap these guys are pretentious. $20 tasting fee, which I guess is ok even though it's higher than much more prestigious wineries. But we came with 6 and there were literally no people in the tasting room, and they had the gall to ask if we had reservations. When we replied no, they also looked at us like we were insane for even attempting to taste without a reservation. This place has its head so far up its you know what, they are likely enjoying their pretentious lunch for a second time. Snooty, Napa AVA attitudes don't fly in walla walla.

OH BOY, what a let down. Not a good experience and wine was subpar. The two tasting room people could not have been more different in their approach to guests: the girl needed some charm education and how to smile while the boy was outgoing and friendly. guess who we got? the girl. she seemed too busy to care that we were there to buy wine or could be interested in more than what was written on the tasting sheet. to make matters worse, the wine wasn't great. Pass and fine somewhere that employs people who love wine.

Had a great experience today with John! Extremely knowledgeable about the wine and the process behind each... As well as a history of each wine maker. Thank you so much for a great experience. The tasting room is also extremely beautiful! Love the Chiluly art on permanent loan as well!

I like their wines a lot. The tasting room is nice and comfortable. (I went pre-Covid.)

This is #1 winery for quality/price ratio. Put them blind with $150 Napa wine or European wine and you will win! And talking with Gilles, chef vigneron, is by itself worth the visit.

Had a wonderful tasting near the firepit on the patio. Our dog, Brix, was welcomed. Karin was very knowlegeable and enthusiastic about all the Longshadow wines and gave us some great tips on the area and history.

This winery is outside of Walla Walla, and in the middle of wheat fields. It's very modern and edgy. They take reservations on the weekend because the tasting room isn't too large. It has BEAUTIFUL Chihuly Glass Art. I guess the CEO of Long Shadows is best friends with Dale Chihuly. They have big windows in the tasting room so you can see where they make the wine and the barrels. We had about 5 tastings. They were all very delicious. I like when they pick grapes from their own vineyard right outside the tasting area, but the wines are from Washington and all over. Each wine has one winemaker, so they're all very limited and exclusive wines. The gentleman pouring the wine was extremely knowledgeable. Since I was there for a bachelorette party, we weren't looking to be extremely educated about the wines. The tasting room got very loud when it was crowded, which made it hard to talk. Maybe early on the weekends or during the week to avoid crowds.

Your experience starts as soon as you walk in. The whole place is beautifully arranged. Service is fantastic. The whole staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Come with questions prepared! You will learn so much.

Disappointing. This winery came highly recommended and our group was excited to visit the tasting room - three of us planning to join their wine club. We were greeted by a very rude tasting room attended who stopped us at the door and stated they did not have room for us. We understand tasting rooms can be crazy on weekends, and understand that they could have definitely not had room for us, but the manner in which we were treated was unacceptable.

This was an impressive experience. Long Shadow Winery is beautiful inside and out! We were greeted by Alex who took amazing care of us the entire time. He went above and beyond and explained every detail of the wines to my husband and I. We will definitely be back when we come to visit Walla Walla. I do suggest calling in advance to make an appointment. I highly recommend visiting this place.

Our family spent a wonderful afternoon with Alex for a tour of the beautiful Longshadows facility. Everyone in our group was very impressed by their wines, but just as impressed by Alex-his wine knowledge, his gracious attitude and his dedication to making sure we had a fun experience. Our sons and a fiancé-all in their 20's-and my 70 something in-laws left with a greater appreciation of winemaking and an understanding of why Longshadows is in a class by itself creating truly beautiful wines. It was an experience that we will long remember.

Eric is a fabulous guide to these lovely wines. Wonderful wines and atmosphere. Didn't have a reservation and they got us right in!

Arrived into Walla Walla for our first time. First stop was our scheduled tasting. Was not sure what to think with all of reviews (most of which were dated) prior to going but we left very satisfied with experience. Alex was extremely knowledgeable about the wines and the histories. Gave many great tips. Beautiful tasting rooms, several tasty wines, and great customer service made this a wonderful experience

Great service by Alex, being from Napa and working in the winery industry, I was seeking some education on the WA AVA's. Alex made it a very casual, fun and educational experience. Remarkable winemakers are part of this project, every wine really well made and extremely reasonably priced. Certainly recommend Long Shadows to any consumer from the state and out of state. All the wines have great tannin structure and depth and certainly will age gracefully for the next decade or so. Purchased a variety of wines however the Saggi really stood out for me, Sangiovese, Cabernet and Syrah blend. Great hospitality and excellent wines.

Wonderful service and staff was very knowledgeable about their wines as well as what region, year and how the wine was bottled. We truly felt like we were learning new and interesting information about the vineyard and wines this facility had. Staff was courteous and prompt in getting each tasting poured in a timely manner Requires an appointment but they let is in without one very graciously.

No complaints about the wine, but the service was sluggish, aloof and snobby. We didn't have an appointment, because the voicemail neglected to mention this requirement - and even after we alerted the host about this omission, he told us we were wrong. Then he reluctantly seated us, and proceeded to ignore us for about 20 minutes between each pour, even though they didn't appear to be slammed. After we (diplomatically) pointed out his spotty service, he refused to waive our tasting fee. Very disappointing experience.

It started with a long drive to seemingly nowhere and finished at an elegant winery sitting on top of a hill with great views in almost every direction you looked. What was our most anticipated tasting of our trip to Walla Walla ended with a little disappointment. I had read about gathering some of the world's most renowned winemakers and have them focus on just one wine and the reviews were glowing. The tasting room was very eclectic with walls of windows and very modern art throughout. When we were seated, they explained how the tasting would go as we were able to taste all of the wines. Our letdown came with the server. She was pleasant and courteous but not prone to conversation as we wanted to learn about the wines and the winemaker. She poured, provided some details about the wine, and then left. She also spaced the time between tastings too long as we found ourselves waiting far longer than expected. These were minor inconveniences though and the overall experience was good. I think with a few minor adjustments it could be great. I still recommend checking this place out as the wines were really good.

Devin the guy who served our party caused some unpleasant experience at the vineyard. He did not explain at all upfront that the tasting fee credit does not apply to white wines (never heard of this thing at any winery). He also charged our group twice on credit card transaction and refused to refund and was very rude. The management should do something about this to improve the tasting experience. Summary: good wines but the staff is too inexperienced to work in the tasting room.

Buyer beware !!!!!!!!! We had heard so much about this winery and were passing by so stopped to purchase a couple bottles of wine as gifts. We asked the front desk person for a recommendations which he gave and we agreed to purchasing two bottles for $75.00. Two days later we are in a wine store see the same exact wines for $15.00 per bottle not $37.50, I do not mind a business making a profit but this is over board so taste but buy elsewhere.

One of the best wine experiences in Walla Walla! Love most of their reds, especially the Pirouette and the tasting room is drop-dead gorgeous. Highly recommended.

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT wines. We walked away with quite a bit of wine from this Winery. Great staff and has to be in the top 2 in the valley. Make it a point to schedule a visit, you'll love me for it.
