We were warmly welcomed upon arrival, and the tasting room itself was beautiful very polished and clean. I especially appreciated how the staff walked us through each wine and its pairings in detail.

The owner was also incredibly kind and friendly, which added a personal touch to the visit. I would definitely come back and highly recommend it to others!

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!

I'm a big fan of the wine scene in Eastern Washington and an even bigger fan of Longship Cellars!…read more I was visiting the Tri Cities for work and was graciously invited to happy hour at Longship Cellars by our amazing client. She's a member here and I understand why. The service, the wine, the atmosphere- all were so great. They have created a very nice space with cozy nooks and chic decor. We sat on the blue velvet couches tucked away along the window. As we perused the menu, we decided between a mix of flights. They were doing a few blind flight tastings that I didn't partake in, but my co-worker and client did. They brought out three wines and you got a little card that would reveal which was which. What a creative idea! All the wines we enjoyed were absolutely delicious! I can be a little particular about what I like, but these were great and absolutely matched my palette. Although we didn't order any, they also had a lot of yummy food options and the baked brie and goat cheese both smelled delicious. Service was so sweet and so attentive. The staff was very friendly! This was an excellent tasting room experience and I hope to get to go back soon!

We had a reservation, and not only was our table ready, but they happily let us switch to the couches instead. Honestly, that made the whole night. After a long week of work and kids, sinking into a comfortable couch with my wife and a glass of wine felt perfect. The staff here is incredibly knowledgeable -- the kind of people who can explain the vineyards, the blends, and the story behind the wine without ever overwhelming you. For a nerd like me, that's a huge win. You can tell they know their craft and they genuinely enjoy sharing it. The wines themselves were excellent. Fidelitas leans heavily into those bold, Bordeaux-style reds, and every pour had depth and personality. If you're a red wine person, this place is basically a playground. Now the snacks... WOW. If you go, order the maple pecan dates. Just trust me. They're decadent, warm, chewy, sweet, nutty -- honestly better than pecan pie. One of those bites where you stop talking mid-sentence because your brain needs a second to process how good it is. The other small bites were great too, but the dates are the star. Overall, our experience at Fidelitas was relaxed, modern, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. Great wine, great staff, comfortable atmosphere -- and those dates alone are worth the drive. Highly recommend.

Absolutely Exceptional Experience…read more Hightower was such a special experience from start to finish. Kelly, the owner, was incredibly warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. She made us feel like we were the only people in the world--it was the kind of hospitality that makes you want to slow down and truly enjoy the moment. And the bread! It deserves its own mention. The starter is sourced at Macrina Bakery, and you can absolutely taste the quality. The cheese selection was also fantastic and paired beautifully with the wines. Between the incredible wine, thoughtful food, and genuine hospitality, Hightower felt so personal and memorable. Kelly has created something truly special. We cannot wait to come back!

Here's what we tasted: 2008 Murray Syrah 95% Syrah, 5% Viognier 2014 Murray Cuveé 50% Carbernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 10% Malbec 2015 Murray Cuveé 75% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 Murray Merlot 88% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot 2016 Murray Cabernet Sauvignon Black Label 83% Carbernet Sauvignon, 17% Petit Verdot 2018 Murray Cuveé 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, 9% Malbec My favorites were the 2014 Murray Cuveé, 2016 Murray Merlot, 2016 Murray Cabernet Sauvignon Black Label, and 2018 Murray Cuveé. These were immediately procured along with a bottle of the 2017 Syrah produced for Din Tai Fung. Service was amazing! The staff was very accommodating and walked us through how Hightower was started and their Murray library wines. We were all in agreement that we will return to try the Hightower wines.
