Did the wine flight. It was a gorgeous day and was able to sit outside. Because it was so warm I ordered whites. I will be back to try their reds. Great service!

Flatbread Pizza.

A couple tasting flights out on the patio and relaxed table service for a casual afternoon sip. Flatbread $15 is flatbread and the Soup Du Jour $9 is soup. We come here for the Orange Muscat but we also enjoyed the Albarino. $15 tasting fee credited back to the bill when you purchase 2 bottles ;)

First time here, recently moved to TriCities area. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Order their Charcuterie plate and absolutely loved the presentation and the taste of everything on the board. We ordered the Cotes de Rob and it was delicious! We will be back to do a wine tasting and to try more on their menu.

yummy beet salad with delicious orange Moscato

Delicious fresh salads ...my favorite Orange Moscato... lovely decor, and comfortable seating with friendly service and inviting atmosphere. I cannot wait to return in the summer and enjoy their outdoor patio and live music.

A friend recommended this winery as a great value place. I came in for business and unfortunately missed happy hour and the tasting room, which closes at 4:45 pm (IKR?). I ordered the House Hummus- amazing! - and the Pappardelle - even more amazing!! Cotes du Rob (Red) was the perfect pairing. So the service was solid but don't ask for anything that you won't be willing to pay for. For example, they don't give you enough hummus but are more than happy to charge you for another order. You get my point...

This place has a nice atmosphere with nice staff and good service. During the happy hours (tue to sat 3-5pm & 8-9pm) glass of red wine is $5 and the perfect reserved cabarnet savignon is $9. So it is a great deal to taste the delicious wine. Food is also good, I had the best pork chops and the greatness of the plate was noted by others too. If you're gonna visit for a Saturday dinner, I recommend you to make a reservation.

The Griffin label of Barnard Griffin proved to be among my favorite wines of our recent trip east to Central WA. BG's "Tulip" label is commonly found in Seattle markets, so we were excited to try the less-common Griffin line-up. Our friendly hostess was full of pride for Tri-Cities/Yakima Valley wine and her enthusiasm was infectious. Earning my raves are: 2008 Grenache (a Washington version of pinot noir that goes well with salmon) 2008 Pinot Gris (a nice bright wine to pair with oysters...I'm sold!) 2007 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (cherry and dark berry notes) 2007 Malbec (peppery!) 2008 Orange Muscat (great for brunch)

The orange muscat and eggplant Parmesan flatbread are delicious! There is also a chardonnay from the Columbia Valley that they offer. There are pear, vanilla, and candied ginger notes.

What great wine their reserve chardeney has a perfect balance of flavor, so good I took a bottle back to Virginia. All of the wines I tasted were full of flavor. I don't ever recall doing a tasting that I could give 5 stars to every wine I tasted. My next visit I'm going to try their restaurant. Hats off to the wine maker. Mean while back in Virginia I popped the cork on my Reserve Chardonnay and enjoyed every sip, I find it hard to find the right words to describe their Reserve Chardonnay, here goes buttery [light] oaky [just enough] fruit [smooth on front just a touch of tang on the back]

We absolutely loved tasting the rose of Sangiovese, orange muscat, and syrah port and ended up taking all of them home.

There are high top tables and cozy gathering spots. I appreciated the effort put into making the space inviting with colorful chairs, good lighting, and festive conversation areas. We had a long list of wines from which to select. My husband was better at asking good questions than I after our long day of travel, but we both ended up choosing flights of nice wines to sample. Of the 6 we tried, I think our favorite was the Albariño white. All were good, and we also really enjoyed the reserve Malbec. We noshed on the pesto Brie and the fig jam flatbread to accompany our wine. The flatbread came with goat cheese which we can go either way for us. This goat cheese seemed mild and our server recommended a drizzle of balsamic to balance it out. Great suggestion! The icing on top of our visit was our server - whose name unfortunately can't recall. When we asked for recommendations for other local wineries to visit, she offered to make us a list and wrote the down for us. Above and beyond kindness! We'd come here often if we were locals and I highly recommend this establishment to those visiting the area. Cheers!

We had a reservation, and they had our table ready the moment we walked in -- comfortable, well-placed, and perfect for conversation. The staff here deserves a shoutout. Friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful when it came to picking drinks and explaining the menu without rushing us. They gave us that perfect balance of attention and space. First up: the chicken tortilla soup. This thing was flavorful, comforting, and packed with that slow-cooked, homemade taste. Honestly, it was delicious as-is, but a couple slices of avocado would seriously take it to the next level. Still -- a great start. Now the paella... WOW. A good size portion, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The rice was cooked perfectly -- not mushy, not dry -- and honestly better than what I've had at a lot of dedicated Spanish restaurants. The mix of seafood and chicken was generous, the seasoning was bright and warm, and every bite hit exactly how paella should. It was the star of the night. We paired everything with sangrias, and they were fantastic -- refreshing, not overly sweet, and just the right complement to the meal. The berry sangria especially worked ridiculously well with the paella. Overall, Tagaris gave us a solid, memorable dinner. Great service, great food, cozy atmosphere, and everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully made. Definitely a place we'll be returning to.

If you're looking for a winery experience that feels like you've stepped straight out of Washington…read moreand into a French countryside escape, Hedges is the one. The entire place has this "European chateau" vibe that's impossible to fake -- from the architecture to the art to the view over the vineyard rows. Even the drive up feels like you're heading somewhere special. I added a note to our reservation asking for a spot by the fireplace and mentioned we were celebrating a birthday. Not only did they honor it, they nailed it. The chairs were warm, comfortable, and the whole room felt cozy in that old-world way -- fire crackling, candles glowing, and the kind of ambiance that makes you want to slow down and savor everything. The wines were bold and delicious, especially the reds. You can tell they take their craft seriously. They even brought out a little birthday treat, which was such a thoughtful touch and made the moment feel even more personal. We also ordered the cheese plate and honestly, it was perfect. Three different cheeses, a mix of crackers, olives, tiny pickles, and what I'm pretty sure was apricot jam -- everything balanced each other beautifully. Paired with the wine, it felt like the world outside just... paused for a bit. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful without hovering. They made sure we had everything we needed and explained the wines clearly, but still let us relax, enjoy, and take in the atmosphere. If you want a place that transports you, even just for an hour or two, Hedges is absolutely worth the visit. It's one of those wineries where you don't just taste the wine -- you feel the entire experience.

I have a 4 & 6 year old and they were entertained the whole time! It was a breath of fresh air for all of us. Our adventure started with eye smiles being greeted by the friendliest staff! They had customized sign for myself and the family. our fire pit and carriage ride were ready! We were able to leave our s'more fixings and hot cocoa at our reserved fire pit. They provided complimentary hot cocoa. There was wine, organic soaps, Christmas wreaths and Christmas trees all available at a very low cost. The carriage ride was spectacular! We brought a blanket along because it can get very cold, but nothing unbearable. We were able to see the wide open views. We could see Miles and miles of vineyards and wildlife. Our tour guide Suzy had so much knowledge and she was just so friendly. She gave stories about the surrounding lands and knowledge on winemaking. What a gem she is to the whole operation! Our carriage ride lasted about 25min and it was worth the $40 for the four of us. After our carriage ride we were able to settle down right next to the coziest fire pit. We had chairs and tables provided for our belongs. Wood would brought to us constantly and we were checked on frequently. Bathrooms were available and were able to sit there over an hour. I would Definitely recommend this one of a kind experience! We will be back and I look forward to supporting this small business! Tips: bring s'more fixings, sticks to toast marshmallows water, hot coco hot dogs/snacks! Parking is very convenient! We were able to get whatever we needed from the suv for snacks, blankets, hand sanitizer, baby wipes! Enjoy, Enjoy, Enjoy! Merry Christmas!
