The wine is great but the food is not as good as it used to be. Most of food seems to be day old. Flat bread we had was dry. The BLT bread was so dry and hard we couldn't eat it. read more

Mother's Day Brunch = Wonderful food (especially the Blueberry Brioche French Toast), with a full and delicious selection from prime rib to asparagus to quiche and fruit with dip. My son brought me last year and this year, and we are already planning for next year! read more

The wines tasting is amazing. Martha is the best! She knows about the wines and is so happy to share her knowledge! The olive oil and bread was the perfect combination. read more

Our waitress was so friendly and helpful! We absolutely loved tasting the rose of Sangiovese, orange muscat, and syrah port and ended up taking all of them home. Smaller patio space but so cute and delicious food options! read more

This has been in my radar for quite a long time. Stopped by for a quick tasting on the way back from Trj Cities. Wish we had more time because they have a beautiful restaurant and a nice patio too. Add to it some really delicious nibbles. The pours were generous. We bought two bottles and got a tasting waived. Dodo was my favorite! Very friendly wait staff. The baguette and the dip paired nicely with all the wine we had. Will definitely be back soon! read more

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! read more

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 ;) read more

Wine, food and service was fantastic. I'm definitely going back here when I get back to Tri-Cities!

Great service and awesome selection of wines They also offered chilled bottles. Cool atmosphere. Check this place out. Pull in and go behind the buildings from road and you will see where to park! read more

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. read more

Went for dinner after a day of wine tasting. Loved it. Delicious food, wonderful wine.

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. read more

Been a member for ever. They never disappoint in their wine,service or food. We went there today to pick up our shipment and decided to do a tasting too. The food choices looked so amazing we ordered the rosemary fries and the three different spreads (Pumpkin hummus, chicken salad and caramelized onion dip) which were served with a baguette they all were excellent. The portions were more than enough to share and we could have easily ordered just one of the choices we made. We shipped through the tasting and in the end not only picked up our order we also left with a mixed case of wines. Gabriella was just amazing with her knowledge of the wines and her lovely personality. Great patio and such a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy marvelous wine, service and food. read more

Great Service and Ambience! Wine was great! We were there during off season, alone. But, really enjoyed ourselves.

One of my favorite places to taste wine in the Tri-Cities! Barnard Griffin is consistently good across vintages and their knowledge about making wine is clear! My mom and I tasted all the wines they had available ($15 for a tasting of four) and they were each unique and excellent. Our favorites were the Albariño, Roussanne, Barbera and Reserve Merlot! It's a really nice tasting room with very pretty grounds, so it's perfect for a tasting or to just enjoy a glass and some snacks. The service is knowledgeable and friendly as well. We each purchased two bottles after our tasting, which waves the tasting fee. Will definitely be back for more wine soon! read more

The service was amazing and the experience was perfect. It was my first wine tasting and I'm glad I did it here. Bought 2 bottles at the end of our tasting. read more

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... read more

Very Good wines, presented well and beautiful facility. If there is a down side it would be their prices for tasting and wine purchases. Being from Northern California I was surprised that our visit cost as much as the more expensive wines and frankly better wineries of Napa, which are too expensive for us as well. read more

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) read more

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. read more

Hugh quality, reasonable prices and knowledgeable, friendly staff. You can buy exceptional Riesling, rosé and red blends for about $11-$12 and step up to about $22-$25 for an array of other varietals, blends and the try premium-level reds for another price bump. read more

Had a party of 10. Molly nailed it. She has a ton of knowledge of what she's serving and how it came to be...very very tasty wine. I wish I would have had a chance to experience the food before Covid shut the door on it. The reviews spoke very highly of it. Thank you Terry and Molly.. read more

Barnard Griffin Winery had excellent service and excellent food. Our waitress was incredibly discrete while still giving us excellent service. I had the pork chop which was excellent. I also drank their Cabernet Sauvignon which was good--$5 during happy hour. Hoping to be back soon! read more

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] read more

Had such a great time at Bernard Griffin! My friend and I made it in time for happy hour, and we were not disappointed. The food and the wine were delicious...and the live music created a super fun atmosphere. From the happy hour: Burger: cooked to perfection, juicy meat, delicious brioche bun, garnish perfectly. Onion rings: where have these been all my life? Next time I come back I will order these first thing. The sauce that a company these onion rings was to die for. Give me a spoon!!! Green goddess salad: unique and unexpected flavor. Not your average salad! I loved the pepper flavor that the endive brought. I think Bernard Griffin is underrated and flies below the radar. But give it a try! I want to come back again for happy hour. read more

Took my mother here for some wine tasting and decided on this location. Pretty nice facilities with a nice restaurant inside. You can choose to do a tasting or just sit and eat in the restaurant. Wine was all pretty good and food was good as well. Would go back again read more

Great wines and Kristin in tasting room was fantastic. Highly recommend . We joined their wine club at visit. Many options of clubs to choose from read more

We came across this winery when out and about touring and really enjoyed their wine selections. The staff was very friendly and informative. We apparently had just missed out on a large crowd that had just left when we arrived, we had been told they keep very busy with several visitors throughout the week. This winery offers a place to sit and eat also. They also make glass decor onsite and offer classes. Very interesting. We'll return. read more

Visited the tasting room about 4 pm. There was nobody else there, two gals behind the bar conversing. They seemed a little taken aback when we walked but recovered. As the tasting began, it became apparent to us that our expectations were way to high. The gal was pleasant enough but distracted and a tad aloof. Not much in the way of story or descriptions. Spent most of the time focusing on periphery conversations and every time we looked up she was watching someone else in the background. The wines were basic at best. Disappointing really. The price per bottle not justified. Not sure were the 4+ stars come from? Probably one of the worst tasting experiences we have had to date. Checked off the list and will not be back. read more

Came here after a very disappointing experience at Tagaris winery and this place is what I expected at a winery. Kirk greeted me on arrival and was there and present throughout the tasting. He was knowledgeable about the wines I tasted and made it a very enjoyable experience. read more

We have been doing a tour of the local wineries lately, and finally landed at BG. Cute little outside patio for the nice weather, and a nice little tasting room on the inside (artwork and artisan foods are sold inside). They have two tastings, one of the BN Tulip label ($5 tasting fee refundable with purchase of wine, these are the wines that you will see in local restaurants), and one of the limited production Reserve Label ($10 and same deal as above). We ordered one of each tasting to share so we could compare the wines. No surprise, the reserves are hands down the winners. The Merlot and Voignier (we took this one home for seafood!) were two of my favorites. We specifically enjoyed out conversations with the wine server, she was very pleasant and knowledgeable about both the winery and the Tri-Cities area in general. The wines aren't amazing overall, but there are some nice bottles in the reserve line-up. read more

This winery is tucked in between two wanna-be powerhouse wineries that are always packed with cars and pretensions. After becoming frustrated with the usual winery scene, I drove into the Barnard Griffin driveway and found a surprisingly serene atmosphere and ample parking. If I am looking for a place to relax on a weeknight--this is my spot. They have a little bit of everything on the menu depending on the night. Most nights it's the usual menu of a meat and cheese board, soup, salads, hummus, flatbreads, or paninis. On Thursdays, they have a Build Your Own Burger bar (beef, turkey or portobello) with different toppings. As for the wine--it is a solid choice. For those who may not like wine, they have beer and non-alcoholic choices. And for the dessert lover--try the s'more panini! It even comes with its own roasted marshmallow. read more

First stop on a girls trip, and what a great find! Our tasting host, Kirk (Curt?--I didn't ask him to spell it!) was personable, very knowledgeable, and helpful. He guided us through several wines, helped us pick other wineries to visit on our trip. The wines were delicious, and we brought several home with us. (He even told us where to buy a cooler for them cheaply!) Thanks for a great afternoon! read more

Such a pretty and fun place. We will be coming back! All the glassware they exhibit is over the top expensive. Do the Reserve tasting and then go next door to Bookwalter for Tapas and music outside on the patio. read more

This is one of Washington's best wineries! We've been so many places, and the wine here just can't be surpassed. Service was friendly, tastings were generous. This is THE PLACE to taste wine in the tri-cities area. read more

I don't know about wine well. However, this place is so nice for beginner to learn wine. All of server are kind. (ever though only two step....) I can taste nice wines. Reasonable price, so I bought 3 bottles. read more

A very small tasting room, but nicely decorated with lots of little nooks and seating and a nice outdoor gazebo with a decent view and even more outdoor seating. The guy pouring the tastes was super nice and chatty. The price was pretty cheap, though the pours were small. Some very interesting specialty wines and an amazing port! read more

The place is cozy and beautiful! Spending a summer afternoon there was just great - food was amazing

My family and I had my brother's wedding rehearsal dinner at Barnard Griffin in September of 2014. It took a little while to work out the details, but Lori and staff were accommodating and professional. We rented out the tasting/event room, and it was beautifully decorated. The event was amazing. The staff members were welcoming and food was exactly what we wanted. Everything was fresh and delicious. They have a great selection of food, wine, and beer. I didn't get a chance to visit the outdoor patio or the gazebo, but there was live music that night, and everything looked great. I highly recommend Barnard Griffin for any event (or wine tasting, or just a hang-out place). Just as an FYI, Barnard Griffin is between two other wineries and parking can be limited nearby at times. There is a larger gravel lot on the left hand side, just as you turn on to Windmill Lane. read more
