If you're looking for a winery that nails the balance between incredible wine and an easygoing,…read morewelcoming vibe, Kiona Winery is it. We showed up a little late for our reservation, but you'd never know it by the way the staff greeted us. Everything was already set up and ready to go--no rush, no attitude, just genuine hospitality. That's actually one of the reasons we keep coming back: every visit feels effortless. The team knows their wines, they listen to what you like, and they guide you without ever making you feel out of place. The tasting room itself is beautiful--clean lines, warm wood, a modern Northwest feel. It's the kind of space where you can actually relax and enjoy yourself instead of feeling like you're in a tourist factory. You've got art on the walls, polished floors, and even those wooden kayaks that make you stop and stare for a second. It sets the tone before the first pour even hits the glass. And the wines... always on point. Whether you're into a silky dessert ice wine that tastes like it should be illegal, or you love those strong, bold reds that Kiona is known for, there's something here for every kind of palate. If you want a place that consistently delivers great wine, friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere where you can actually unwind... Kiona is one of the best spots in the Tri-Cities area. Worth the drive every single time.

I had Kiona bookmarked for a while, we finally paid a visit during Labor Day weekend with our…read morefavorite winos. The tasting room is beautiful and the patio is dog friendly. Since we had our dog with us, we opted to sit outside. Luckily, it's a covered patio, so although it was a hot day, it could have been worse if we had direct sun, and the view of the vineyard on Red Mountain is phenomenal! We were greeted with a glass of rosè, and opted for tastings. There are 3 tastings for $20 (not counting the welcome glass), with generous pours. The fee is waived with bottle purchase of $30. I opted for mostly cab or cab blends. Honestly, I didn't care for the wine. I was actually disappointed as so many people have raved about Kiona. The best thing I tasted was the rosè. Maybe I chose the wrong wines to taste, but I'm not sure I'd buy Kiona wines. On the flip side, the staff were absolutely great! And the tasting room is gorgeous, and if the views are your thing, and you enjoy their wine, definitely pay Kiona a visit.

The owners, Greg and Shae, are passionate about their business and it shows! The tasting room is beautifully decorated. There's a story board about how they came to Washington and started Frichette. But we had our dog, so we opted to sit outside. Greg set us up in Adirondack chairs underneath the Apricot tree, so we were shaded, as it was a hot day. We were so grateful. People were commenting we looked like a magazine cover! Lol! We were greeted with a glass of rosè and opted for the wine tastings. It's $20 for 4 tastings, not including the welcome glass of Rosè. Their wines were exactly what I was looking for. Fantastic, full bodied flavor. And Shae would chat us up whenever she dropped a tasting, not just to talk about the wine, but really just chat. It felt like we already knew her! If you're ever in Benton City, definitely add Frichette to your list of wineries to visit. I know we'll be back!!!

Shae was wonderful to work with and she executed on every detail I needed for the party.

The party staff were very hospitable and made the venue have a casual elegance vibe to it.

The place is very kid friendly with lots of room to run and play. Ultimately though I can't give 5 stars because their events are not super well organized. We attended for Easter and the hunt for toddlers started before it was supposed to and then they did a second one for all ages which was just chaotic. It didn't make sense why they didn't follow the timeline on the website and tickets. Ultimately I hope they can clean this up for the future!

This is definitely a tasting room you'll want to visit again and again! The winemaker is always refining his craft and loves to share his family's story! We can't wait to return!

We are so glad it was Thurston we settled on after driving past a bunch of faux Tucson buildings and cold industrial wine complexes offering tastings. Staff here were great, fun, and engaging. Food was excellent, and all around we had a fun experience and have since recommended the place to a few friends. I personally loved their white wines and I consider myself more of a red fan. My only complaint would be I thought their reds were a bit too similar in flavor to each other, but all around enjoyable.

We arrived to a veritable ghost town. Luckily, we were still in the area the following day (and not home, 3+ hours away). When I called to confirm, the woman that answered the phone was less than pleasant when I informed her that the times were wrong on the website, Groupon, and their voicemail and they may want to look into changing it. If I hadn't already spent the money, I wouldn't have visited their location. We had a decent wine tasting and the beverages were all very nice, but it was a bit bittersweet as we were going only to fulfill the Groupon.

Seriously, the best red wines I have ever had! Visiting this winery has finally forced me to give…read morein to buying an aerator just to enjoy their wine properly. Their riesling is not as sweet as most, and that can be a refreshing change if you want a white wine that's not so sweet yet still smooth and tasty. A couple of their red wines were quite peppery but not necessarily spicy which I think can be quite enjoyable with a good plate of pasta. The 2009 merlot is perfect RIGHT NOW! So if you can, I highly recommend going to try it. It has aged just long enough and it so smooth and full bodied and fragrant. I can't wait to drink it this week (once I get that aerator). The staff was extremely friendly and the building was well air-conditioned. There is also a nice patio, but we avoided it since it was so warm. They have a small variety of salami and cheeses in a case as well as some grilling pellets (which I had never seen before). I believe their hours are 10am - 6pm; this info was not on their website which could definitely use some work.
