It has the vibe of an old barn converted into a tasting room. There is limited seating, both indoors and out, but plenty of shade and sun outside depending on where you want to sit. There is also quite a large patch of grass if you want to bring a blanket and do your tasting picnic-style. The wines were very good. And since this was our first stop of the day, I am confident in saying so! The tasting fee and bottles are also very affordable. The Allobroges is a rather unique of Grenache, Syrah and Mouvedre. I liked it enough to buy some for the road. Contrary to what you may read, tastings are NOT by appointment only. We walked in and were served quite immediately. Walk-ins are welcome for groups smaller than 8. They do private events and weddings.

It's in downtown Yakima - there's plenty of parking, but it's busy down there ... and we were there Saturday evening! The building is nice and there's a pretty sidewalk in front. We entered and there was live music! We sat at the bar and a young man greeted us and started pouring. We talked about the wines and how the bar was started. We enjoyed the wines - some were actually very nice and a couple had a good 10+ years of aging! My better half had a full glass after, I had a local IPA. We liked it so much, we bought a couple bottles and we joined their wine club! It was such a pleasant place - I wish we had a place like that here in our town. Highly recommended! I almost forgot - their wines are very reasonably priced and they're also well made with very good grapes!

I loved the folk-style sort of aesthetic with the decorations scattered everywhere in this place. glad that there were tables, but all with stools only. wine was okay and something you would see on the cheaper section of stores like BevMo, Walmart, etc. not much to do around this plaza square in Yakima, too...

This is the second location in town, the first being at 40th and Summitview. The folks here have put together what may be the best set up in the area. As with the first location, they serve beer, wine, coffee and a few small bites here as well as pastries and gelato. Inside there is seating for 20 or so, with some couches and nice large tables. Outside is an awesome set up with four or five large tables with umbrellas. This is the perfect place to sit outside, sip on a craft brew that was grown in town and watch your kids play on the giant lawn area outside. It is seriously what Starbucks was never able to do with the space! It definitely is not the factory that Starbucks is, so it can take a little bit longer to get your beverage and array is not quite as wide, but for those who are looking for a good local spot, this is it! The gelato is solid though a little expensive. They tend to run specials once a week or so (i.e. Thursday's are but one get one free night) so it's worth the trip at least once in a while! The place just opened so as they work the kinks out, this is likely to become a go to place in town! Its so nice to see the proliferation of local business and this is no exception. It's a perfect place to take the kids so they can run around and you can grab a drink, caffeinated or otherwise!

It was a full house as usual but very very loud we didn't talk much as it was kind of pointless and would have to yell to even be heard- at that point I was wishing I had made a res for the patio out back lol. We had the tomato & peach salad that was to die for! We ate the entire plate! Then we ordered the black cod which is my favorite fish- so tender and flaky, loved the addition of meaty lions Mane mushrooms and a miso slaw! Hubby had the skirt steak- so tender, perfectly cooked and melted in your mouth! Loads of flavor. The heirloom tomato that came with it was killer as well! Our waitress kept bringing dishes to the table that she thought we would like, as an apology for "the wait" (which we weren't worried about in the least) but were very grateful to receive!The bread roll and green beans, so so good!

Mole: Tasted much more like a standard red enchilada sauce than a traditional rich mole. The chicken filling was pretty dry and lacked flavor. Taco Salad & Quesadilla: Both solid choices. Sides: The beans were good and well seasoned, but the rice was a total miss. A quick heads up: Their POS system was completely down when we went, so we had to pay cash. Luckily we had some on us, but definitely carry cash just in case. Overall, it was an okay experience, but with so many other Mexican options nearby, we probably won't be back.

From the stunning views over the valley below, to the tasty cocktails, to the wonderful eats it was a great way to chillax on a lovely Saturday evening. Having had a not-great experience with wine (at a different venue) earlier in the day, we opted for cocktails here. My extra dirty martini with cheese-stuffed olives was phenomenal, and my friend enjoyed her old fashioned. We shared a roasted beet and burrata salad as an appy, then moved on to our main courses - I got the prime tenderloin and she got the cider glazed pork. We washed it all down with a couple of chocolate espresso martinis for dessert. My tenderloin was cooked to perfection, and accompanied by some sweet little roasted carrots and a lovely heap of mashed potatoes. My friend reported that her pork was more like a stew, and she really enjoyed it. What really put our experience here over the top was the absolutely amazing service we received, especially from our waiter, Trevor. He was friendly, funny, and helped us navigate the menu when we couldn't decide what to get. He also told us a little about the geological history of the area, which is built over an old coal mine. This place wasn't cheap, but for a fun night out of splurging, it was perfect!
