We love coming to this winery when we visit from Texas. The grounds are beautiful and the wine is delish. We hope they eventually start shipping to Texas. Would definitely join their wine club if that happened. read more

Bethany Vineyard & Winery - This is the red wine tasting board. - Wineries Near Me - Ridgefield, Washington

The winery is beautiful. The pairing of wine was amazing. The only disappointment was no food. The restaurant was closed on Sunday. So my rating dropped because of no food. How can you realistically have wine pairing without food. read more

Pros - Grounds were well kept Comfortable outdoor seating Cons- The wine & food are not very inspiring Not sure if it's worth the drive from PDX Service was polite and professional read more

What a beautiful winery. Just a short drive from the I5, this winery has a lot to offer. We started in the tasting room where the owner loaded up a couple of flights for us. We took them outside to the beautiful patio overlooking the vineyard and the lake. There is also a floating patio for those that want to be even closer to the water. There is a lot of room for events here, so explore the grounds. The white wines weren't to our liking, but a couple of the reds were keepers. We did bring some bottles home, the Pinot Noir and the Barbera were both fantastic and will be great with dinner at home! read more

Gorgeous property and vineyard. The wine is pretty spectacular too! Huge amount of outdoor space for comfortable social distancing and a lovely pond in the middle of the property. As for any reviews giving the place 1 star because they have limited kids area, that's really not fair to the owner/business. This is a winery and I'm thankful we don't have kids running around the property. read more

I came to this vineyard years ago with a group of friends and had the most incredible time. 5/5 would recommend. Fast forward about 5 years I am now married and have an 18month old that I was very excited to share this incredible place with (especially since most vineyards are kid friendly). We came to the vineyard during a beautiful summer day, specifically asked before ordering if it was okay to sit outside since there was a sign that said no outdoor or lawn seating for minors under 21. We were told it was okay to be outside as long as our son stayed with us, so I ordered two glasses of wine to drink on the lawn with my husband. If it hadn't been okay, we would've gladly gone somewhere else where we could sit outside on such a nice day. Within 5 minutes of being outside, we were asked to go inside because there's a body of water on their premises.. Our son was literally sitting between us eating a pb&j on the lawn and had been within arms distance the entire time we were outside when we were asked to go inside; where it is definitely not kid friendly. *If you are planning on bringing anyone here under the age of 21, you are better off not coming or might want to reconsider. *If you are over the age of 21, or have the luxury of having a sitter/family to watch your child, this is a beautiful place to spend time at. read more

As someone who has been coming to (and loving) Bethany for 5+ years, today was a very disappointing experience. I have been looking forward to sharing the amazing wine and scenery with my mother and father in law on Father's Day - the scenery was great, but the wine and service were incredibly disappointing. Between the 8 of us, we got a variety of wines and flights. The whites were warm, all of the wines were full of sediment, smelled fishy, and tasted awful. None of us finished our flights, and many of us found ourselves spitting some back into the glass it was so bad. We are not picky wine drinkers at ALL, so this is very telling. This was very unfortunate because we've never had a bad experience with their wine before. Then, we had a waitress give us "warnings" every 5 minutes until they closed. We are assuming the management must have changed recently - if the wine and service ever returns to their former glory, we would love to come back, as we've loved it for so long, but today we felt unwelcome and grossed out. We will be going to one of the many other Ridgefield wineries instead in the future. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because I used to love to come here and the property is beautiful. read more

I have been a member here for 11 years. The wine is great and has improved each year. My fave food there is the winemaker panini. The owner, Walt, is such an awesome human and his grandson, Eli, has taken over the winemaking. Beautiful grounds - definitely visit in summer! read more

Sunday 8/13 /23 Went to Patrick Lamb out door concert We came to listen to jazz music not your boring stories and itinerary . In a 2 hour time period you played less than 10 songs and talked way too much !! !! Very disappointing to say the least !! Tickets at 25 bucks a pop plus taxes .. never again !! Bethany vineyards - charging customers for Kirkland bottled water at 2.50 each .. a case of Kirkland Costco water is only 2.99 .. you would think you wouldn't want to price gouge your customers but you did !! Your wine is horrible !! Won't be back !! A complete disappointment in all areas !! read more

A beautiful place, feeling completely removed from the real world while being surprisingly close to the highway. Both the grounds and the indoor tasting room are what you'd imagine as idyllic winery locations. And, fortunately, the wines themselves live up to the location. This is a spot that I plan to seek out again. Our first visit, not terribly long after retiring, was an experience that my wife and I agreed was the kind of thing we had been vaguely imagining as something to be doing on a weekday afternoon, once the working life was behind us. We both kind of looked at each other and said - we've arrived. Just FYI, for anyone who is exploring this area, the Hulda Klager Lilac Gardens are not far to the north, and may help round out a very pleasant detour off the highway. read more

So a colleague at work, who I'd like to think of as my personal Alexa that always tells me the best local spots for anything, "twists my arm" to go wine tasting. Gorgeous week of sunshine and it seemed the time was right. I haven't been wine tasting in the region, so I trusted my "Alexa". A group of 6 of us met up at Bethany (groups of 10 or more need to make reservations). 4 of us got there first. Beautiful grounds. Beautiful location to host an event. They had Frank Sinatra Xmas tunes playing on speakers outside. Love it! Stepped into the tasting room and we received a hearty and friendly greeting. A tasting flight is $10. We're in. We slowly sipped our first round waiting for the rest of our party to arrive. The tasting included: Riesling Pinot Noir Nebbiolo Barbera Cabernet Petite Syrah I favored the Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo the most of this group. We decided some snacks were in order and ordered a cheese board and the ham & brie sliders. They set up a group of tables for us in their cellar area to sit and dine and brought the additional pours for our tastings to us. Perfect. We wanted to step outside and view the grounds and enjoy another glass and opted for a bottle of the Pinot Noir. They gave us some outside glasses. We stepped onto the floating patio and watched as the sun went down over the horizon. Great spot and I look forward to returning with guests. read more

Bethany Vineyard & Winery - Beautiful day for some wine tasting - Wineries Near Me - Ridgefield, Washington

If there's anything great to take away from Bethany Vineyard, it's the stunning landscape and view of the grounds. The property is fairly large and just hidden in a way that has you feeling you are far, deep into wine country and miles from any large metropolitan. I could see this venue being a wonderful one for a wedding or special private event. The staff were really friendly, warm and generous. They were very accommodating to our family which included 4 adults and 2 kids under age six. The indoor tasting room area is a little small, even though there is a back room constructed with stone which is pretty quaint. I would definitely return without the children since the garden and outdoor patio are off limits to anyone under 21 years old. The wine tasting we did was pretty good, I enjoyed some wines over others. We left with 2 bottles that were reasonable priced and the manager even gave us an extra glass of red to toast us goodbye! It was very generous and we definitely had a pleasant experience. I look forward to going back sometime in the warmer season especially. read more

Stunning location! Wine was fabulous! We were very disappointed with the interaction from the lady that took our food order. She was rude to one of us. At time of purchase she asked each of us for a tip... even though we had to come to her to have our order taken. We had to keep a eye on a table that was kinda far away which was where our food was placed. Since they didn't want to deliver that far away...what exactly would we be tipping for? When one of us who placed the order first asked if the food would be delivered... she said in a loud voice.... I will tell everyone what to expect once I've taken all your orders! It was so rude. I would love to bring my family and friends. I just had a bad taste in my mouth after being treated so poorly read more

We were in this area for a wedding and had a Saturday to explore before the wedding. We decided wine tasting would be fun! We found Bethany winery online and it looked like a cool place. No reservation was needed for a party under 10 people. When we showed up, we were greeted and they showed us to the tasting room. All of the wines we tried were amazing and really unique. The owner was talking to all of us about the backstory of the winery and the different wines we were tasting. The Riesling was my favorite as it was cool and dry. Perfect for a summer day. We walked around after the tasting and loved the area. It was gorgeous and very open. We ate lunch on the nice patio and tried some of their food. We got the cheese plates, paninis and hummus to all share. It was delicious and highly recommended with a bottle of wine. Service was great and overall had an awesome time!! read more

This is a lovely property. We sat and had a bottle of wine with a nice cheese plate this afternoon. We sat in really comfy chairs on a floating deck on their own little private late overlooking the vineyard. The staff was awesome. The owner as always entertaining and gracius. The food was very good and the bottle of wine was deep and lucious. It is so nice to have such a wonderdul venue and winery within blocks of my house. Thanks for a great experience. ps - try the potato chip cookies. Amazingly good! Will happily go back again and again! read more

Beautiful grounds and gratifying wines engender Bethany Vineyard & Winery as a convenient destination just off the I-5 highway in Ridgefield, WA. The tasting room is the place to start and sample some of Bethany's distinctive red, white, and berry wines known equally for flavor and character. The tasting fee is $10, but, if you buy a bottle, you get $5 back. Tastings are available year-round on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday plus Wednesday and Thursday in the summer. Once you taste the wines, it's time to get a glass or bottle of your favorite and head to the real beauty of Bethany: the landscaped gardens, peaceful pond, and sprawling vineyards. The setting is perfect for a relaxed meeting with friends in the large water-side gazebo or a quiet spot on a path. The stage and open grass field seem like a wonderful setting for a wedding or event, too. The only thing I didn't like about Bethany Vineyard & Winery was the food. I tried a Turkey Panini with Chips that didn't taste right or match the wines. Perhaps, a Cheese Board, Caprese Skewers, or Ham & Brie Sliders would be better options next time. As with most wineries, club members get discounts on wine purchases and if you plan on enjoying the beautiful grounds and gratifying wines of Bethany Vineyard & Winery on a regular basis, I strongly recommend joining the club. read more

I've been here a few times. This is my favorite winery in the area. All of their wines are delicious and super flavorful. I've never had a bad wine there. The folks who work there are all super friendly and knowledgeable about the wine selection. I love the grounds as well. They have just perfect places to sit and gaze upon the vines while enjoying a glass of wine. I was sad to hear that Gracie had just passed. I will definitely miss this dog! read more

Beautiful, beautiful place! This was like a land locked in time, and I have never felt so serene. $10 a person for a sampling of about 8 wines, $5 back if you purchase a bottle. We had the best caprese skewers ( mozzarella, cherry tomato, mint leaf with balsamic dip and two pieces of bread) I will be back the second I can, for some more blackberry wine! read more

There are so many awesome things to say about Bethany Vineyard & Winery! First off, the place is absolutely breathtaking; very serene. Pictures don't do it justice! You have to see it for yourself. I look forward to the next couple of months when everything starts blossoming. The tasting room is very unique and chill. The owners were very helpful and friendly. They explained everything to me and my mom how it all worked. I enjoyed myself so much that I am returning today with my daughter-in-law and neighbor. I can't wait even though it's only been one day. ( ; I found my new haven!! I am so blessed as live about 2 miles from this place. read more

Not even worth one star, for the bad service. I was disappointed with people inside, we took some friends who came down from Alaska and we were so embarrassed, we had been to this winery before and when the owner was up front 6 years ago he was so nice and the staff was great then, so sad how things change for the worse. I don't know if I will ever go back! If you're in the area go to Dolio winery much better service and people. read more

We had only planned on stopping for a wine tasting. But they had an amazing caterer who was serving great dishes to compliment the wine. We ended up walking around the property enjoying the vineyards and the pond. We will definitely be back!---most likely next weekend! read more

I left Texas for some cooler weather and to have a much needed visit with my daughter who lives in Vancouver, WA. The weather was actually hotter here than it was in Texas this week. Despite the hot weather, Victoria wanted to take me to one of her favorite wineries where she has taken several of her out of State guests. Bethany Vineyard and Winery in St. Ridgefield, WA was one of our stops on my second day in the beautiful state of Washington. This well tucked away vineyard has such a peaceful setting with soft playing music as you stroll though their grounds. There is a sitting area under a shaded pergola which is where I decided to enjoy my glass of Pinot Noir. Let me do my best to describe this wine..... The owner was very friendly and struck up conversation as we were ordering our wine. His son was stationed in Abilene, Texas so he was familiar with the humidity that normally graces Texans. There are places to sit inside if you want to get out of the heat or cold depending on the weather. I was going to try their hummus, but have developed an allergy to peppers of any kind. The caterer met with me and let me know that their hummus is prepared in the same area where there is a red pepper hummus made. She did not recommend that I take the chance and have a reaction that could be avoided. Who wants to take this kind of chance when this was the beginning of my vacation? Not me.... read more

Wine tasting was $10 you try 6 different wines I think, they all were great but the first is the sweetest wine. After tasting you can by a glass which is around $6 or a bottle which is around $26. You get a $5 credit from your tasting that can be applied to your bottle perches The atmosphere was perfect, live music was beautiful and lots of shade to stay out of the heat. read more

Bethany Vineyard & Winery - Cheers! - Wineries Near Me - Ridgefield, Washington

This is one of the most amazing vineyards I have been to. The views are absolutely incredible and the ambience is unparalleled. I can't drink red wine, so my husband and I decided to skip the wine tasting and buy a bottle of their sweet Riesling to drink outside. They have plenty of seating outside, but the best place to sit is on their floating patio, which is a large wooden pergola/deck that extends out over the lake. It has plenty of outdoor furniture so you can relax and take in the views. You have views of the lake on one side, and the vineyard on the other three sides. I cannot think of many other ways I would rather spend an afternoon than enjoying a bottle of wine on this patio. The owner also came out to visit with us and was so nice! He talked with us for a good 10 minutes about the vineyard, their wines, and the lake. I would highly recommend visiting this vineyard, even if you have to drive out of your way to do so. It is well worth the effort of getting there! read more

Bethany Vineyard & Winery - Wine on the Floating Deck - Wineries Near Me - Ridgefield, Washington

This winery is located on a lovely pond, has a nice selection of wines, and a decent menu. Before we left, the owner invited me and my children to walk around outside, but then another staff member scolded us for being in the area that was only for "21 and over" even though no one was around. So we left feeling a little unwelcome. Enjoyed the visit but not very family-friendly. read more
