Canvasback does great red wine. The tasting room is small, but lovely. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff who were happy to open and share other wines not on the original flight they poured. Would definitely come back and I will think fondly of Canvasback when I'm drinking the wine I bought while I was there. read more

Loved our experience here! We had the place to ourselves and our flight was so tasty! We loved hearing the stories of the wine and the grapes! Definitely a must! read more

The wine, the knowledgeable staff, and the tasting experience was excellent! Our group of 7 people really enjoyed our visit to Canvasback and we learned a lot from the tasting room host. We were not that familiar with Canvasback, but ended up really enjoying their wines and we purchased a wide selection upon departure. The delicious charcuterie board was a nice treat as well! I would highly recommend. read more

Canvasback lived up to its name. Do not miss Canvasback Winery if you love cabernet sauvignons, as this is THE place to visit in Walla Walla for it. Expect all different cab sauvs from local AVAs, including Red Mountain. We had a reservation for a late afternoon on a Saturday for Canvasback and throughout our time here, the place was steady. We were able to snag seats outside, which was nice since you can look out on the grounds. It's right next to a working farm. Also, if you get cold sitting outside, they have comfy, fleece blankets for guests. We each did a tasting, which included four different cabernet sauvignons! We also were able to taste a bonus pour of another cab sauv, which was awesome. You really can't go wrong here with the wines. I would've been happy taking home any one of them. But I don't expect anything less from Canvasback, as they are the sister winery to Napa's Duckhorn Vineyards. Ya heard right! If you love heavy, bold reds, especially cab sauvs, then Canvasback in Walla Walla is a must on your wine-tasting journey. They have a long list of different cab sauvs, in addition to other wines. I'm so glad we were able to experience a tasting here and leave for home with some bottles from here! I'll definitely be back. read more

Fantastic winery! Came to Walla Walla with a few friends for Labor Day weekend and this was hands down the best location we stopped at. Luis was chatting with us throughout the experience giving his background and constantly willing to go above and beyond to make the time spent fun - he even went and got cornhole/bags from the back room so our group could play. Not only was the service fantastic but we had the chance to try some of the best Cabernet Sauvignon wine I've ever tasted. Truly don't have anything negative to say...already wanting to head back! read more

Beautiful, friendly staff, and, the best CABS I have ever had. I am not a cab person. We went with a friend, who's in the business. My hub and I were going to share a flight. Our friend said, that if we didn't want all the wine to share flights at the following 2 tastings, but NOT this one. Boy was she right!!!! I am a Pinot Noir girl, but these, OMG, best cabs, EVER!! BTW: Met the winemaker and he was darling, and not too shabby on the eyes either. : ) read more

Great view and incredible friendly staff. Today was very knowledgeable about the find and was extremely attentive. He also was more than willing to converse with us and answer all our questions. We had a great afternoon enjoying their vast selection of wines. read more

Disappointed in this experience. The wine is overpriced and I think the winery has really identified as "Napa" not Walla Walla. Of the 7 wineries we visited last weekend, this was by far the least enjoyable. The tasting isn't even refunded if you join the winery. Seems a tad pretentious. read more

Whoa! What an amazing experience and the wine is delectable. A MUST visit! We loved geeking out with the very knowledgeable fun staff on AVAs, clones, and everything else. read more

LOVE this winery! Great customer service and amazing wine. Definitely will come back!!! read more

Just like Valdemar (which is not recommended) I think Canvasback has gotten a bit too full of itself. Too much emphasis put on "who we are" as opposed to emphasizing the experience of those visiting. Wine was good, but would not go back - too hoity toity. read more

Great tasting experience in lovely atmosphere. Some great Cab Sauv's to sample with expertise in narration along the way. read more

Love this place! For Napa lovers, they are affiliated with Duckhorn and Parradeaux, which I love. They have a gorgeous outdoor area. Fire pit and blankets in comfy Adirondack chairs for cool mornings and umbrellas by all tables for sunny afternoons. Wine is delicious! They pour a welcome white but are known for the reds. We tried both the vertical tasting and the classic. They did a bonus pour of the Grand Passage which they make from the beet lot of grapes. Wine tasting itself is pricey ($20 or $40) but refunded when your purchase a few bottles. Yes, kids are allowed! Our new fav spot! read more

Visited Canvasback on Holiday Barrel Tasting Weekend, and appreciated all the tasting straight from the barrel compared with the longer aged wines. Had brisket chili, to pair with the wines, that was to die for! Appreciated getting the opportunity to speak with the wine maker as well during our visit. The outdoor atmosphere was cozy with warm blankets and patio fireplaces! This is a must stop on your walla walla trip! read more

Had a wonderful experience here yesterday. Great customer service and spaced out due to covid. You get 2 hours with reservation to taste the wines. We had a cab flight. The 2017 Red Mountain Cab and 2016 Walla Cab were my favorites as they had less tannin (prefer to enjoy less acidic cabs). However, all were wonderful! Added bonus The rose was wonderful too :) read more

Great wine and a really good grounds. Fire pit and couches along with some grass area with yard games. Their taste was $15, which is more than average. They provide it in a flight which is nice to compose the differences. Staff was really attentive and took the time to explain the wines, regions and differences. Also very approachable. Or wine snobby at all. Highly recommended and will visit again. read more

We had an excellent time at Canvasback. Luis served our group of 8 for our wine tasting, and he was awesome. His personification descriptions of the wines were amazing. "Feminine, forlorn, heartbroken." Let's just say we bought a LOT of wine, half because they were delicious, and half because of Luis. Beautiful grounds as well. You should go. read more

Our wine tasting experience at Canvasback was top-notch, not only for the great wines we tasted, but also because of the entertaining value instilled by our host Luis!

My Husband and I made a recent trip out to Walla Walla in the beginning of September this year to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Canvas back was at the top of our list of wineries to visit as we had been to their parent winier, Duckhorn, in Napa valley. Upon arrival we fell in love with the atmosphere and location of the tasting room. There were a larger number of different seating options to chose from, couches, table tops, Adirondack chairs and indoor space as well. We chose to sit on the outdoor couches to enjoy the sunny day and beautiful landscape. These wines speak for themselves being small batch reds from Red Mountain area. We enjoy a flight of 5 wines, one white, four reds, four of which are only available for purchase onsite or through the wine club membership. The associate who helped us was very knowledgeable of the wines, very attentive to our needs and extremely friendly. We had great customer service from our associate and she even recommended more wineries to try in Walla Walla based on the wines we liked at Canvasback (we liked them all). We will for sure be back to Canvasbacks tasting room and will continue to love their Red wines. read more

My wife and I come to Walla Walla every year and we always search for new wineries to try out. We found Canvasback and we were quite impressed to say the least. The winery is absolutely gorgeous and the hospitality made us feel welcome right from the get go. The wines are presented on a tasting tray with a sheet that explains each wine in detail. This makes the experience more relaxing because you can find a nice comfy seat and enjoy your wines at your leisure without sitting on an empty glass. Also, If you are a fan of Red Mountain reds, these wines will knock your socks off. Great experience, great winery. We will be back. read more

Heads up... they DO NOT wave the tasting fee even if you buy a bottle of wine from them. Every other winery I have ever been to waves the tasting fee. You had to spend $100 before they would wave the fee (only one tasting fee waved) we went to two winery's right down the road and both waved the tasting fee for all of our 12 person group after just one of us bought only one bottle of wine. This winery obviously is VERY proud of themselves and their wine.... and it's not even their grapes (they get their grapes from Tri Cities). Anyways not impressed. read more

Excellent wine, staff, and customer service!!! I was there on Thursday 10-13, and had 5 star service to match the incredible wines we tried! Thank you! read more

We had a wonderful tasting at this beautiful property. Our host Briana was friendly and knowledgeable. The wines were amazing and it was so much fun to learn more about the region. The grounds are beautiful with plenty of seating including a fire pit area. read more

Got to visit Canvasback for the first time over Cayuse weekend. They had both a Cabernet from the Walla Walla AVA and a Cabernet from the Red Mountain AVA. It was SO cool to be able to compare and contrast them back-to-back. It was also really hard to decide which one I liked more! Winemaker, Brian Rudin, does such an amazing job and is so approachable during conversation, and so friendly. I learned a lot chatting with him just the one time. The environment is incredible and the views are gorgeous!! There's corn hole, croquette, a pond area, and great outdoor seating, including an awesome fire pit surrounded by super comfy couches. This is a great stop for sure! They do have a $15 tasting fee, but it is waived with a 2 bottle minimum purchase of any of their red wines, per person. read more

Enjoying a glass of the Syrah in the lovely outdoor area was divine. Just what I needed! Service was great. I highly recommend!!

Really great atmosphere, with plenty of relaxed outdoor seating. Wines are delicious and the team that works out there is a fun group

We loved this experience and will definitely return! Tim, our server, was very knowledgeable and helpful. I wish we had better questions to ask. Tim figured out what we liked, and brought us more wines to try. They were flexible as well. Off the beaten path, which was nice. Perfect for those who want Cabernet from Red Mountain! read more

I've been to many wineries here in Washington and Oregon. So far this is the best I've ever been. Not only is the wine is excellent but the service is exceptional. Luis is not only knowledgeable but personable and made our wine tasting even so enjoyable and pleasant. We will making our future wine tasting visits more frequent. read more

I visited Canvasback during their pre-opening weekend prior to Spring Release this year and they already couldn't have been more accommodating! I took a rather large group of family and friends with me to experience it together and we were all so impressed. The wines were all gorgeous and I do appreciate the opportunity to try the same varietals and vintages from different local AVA's as well as the beautiful setting in the south side of Walla Walla Valley. Brian Rudin is a fantastic winemaker and I really enjoy his very engaging, energetic and fun personality as well as passion for the local wine valley experience. The hospitality manager, Mandy Walters is equally delightful and I am so happy they have her knowledge, skills and shining personality to represent Canvasback! The have a great crew that is eager to roll out the red carpet of hospitality in the wine industry here. Truly a fantastic addition to our Walla Walla Wine Country! A must go to spot! read more

We had a wonderful time. The setting was beautiful, service was top notch, Bree went above and beyond for us, and wine was incredible. I highly recommend Canvasback, we will be back! read more

Just got back from my first tasting trip to Walla Walla. Canvasback was highly recommended by friends so I had to see what all the fuss was about. The fuss, it turns out, was all about awesome Red Mountain wines. We also tasted some other cool small production wines that all five of us really enjoyed. I my fave was the Funk Syrah, so I bought a case. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable and very friendly. Lots of folks playing croquet. I did not play as I was enjoying the wines and crackers. CANNOT WAIT TO GO BACK! read more
