    Near the tasting area
    Jana S.

    Toured the Prosser area and this was by far my favorite winery. The wine was outstanding. And they have Port!!! I really felt like part of the family sitting near the tasting area and looking out at the valley in the surrounding hillside as the sunset. The owner is an absolute artist and a master at his craft. Did I mention they have Port!!! I recommend going to all the other wineries first and ending your vacation here. It's the perfect climax to an incredible winery vacation.

    This is a Prosser winery perched along the side of the Horseheaven Hills of the Yakima Valley. The winery sits atop a hill and the vineyard is draped below like a shawl. Daven Lore's wine can be purchased at many local stores, and they offer tastings at the Prosser and Richland Farmer's markets. There is a tasting room at the actual winery, but you may need to call ahead to arrange a visit. They offer a fair range of different types of grape juice....errr...wine. The bottle I purchased after a tasting was nice and made me a happy camper. Give them a visit at a Farmer's Market, or if you're lucky, drop by the winery.

    Daven Lore is a great place to taste!

    Winemaker extraordinaire Gordon Taylor and local Chef Kristin M. Johnson to created a beautiful and over-the-top, FUN winemaker's dinner experience for a dear friend's 50th birthday! Everything was perfect, Gordon's beautiful home, gorgeous setting, generous hospitality...of course Gordon's amazing wines paired perfectly with Kristin's delicious meal! Everything far exceeded my hopes for the celebration. Thank you, thank you! And thanks to Sonya and Andrew for their help too! The energy of a fun girls weekend, combined with personal winemakers dinner with Gordon and Kristin made for an unforgettable experience.

    Gordon working & telling a great story of the run-away barrel!

    Read some yelp reviews so thought we'd give this winery a try. Awesome! The people (especially Sonya) were great --- knowledgable, fun, & entertaining. The atmosphere was warm& inviting -- not pretentious. And the wine was delicious! They take great pride in the quality of their wine and it shows. They benefit greatly from Dr Davenport's soil expertise and Gordon's scientific approach. Worth a stop!

    Gordon, the wine-maker, loves to meet people and talk about all things wine - maybe as much as he likes to make it.

    A spontaneous drive through the east side and the wind led us here…read more Though visible and right off the freeway, the price point does not see the traffic like the clustered tasting rooms do, which makes it a more tranquil experience without the tourist breeze. Inside is delightfully spacious! Chambered ceilings with walls of barrels for a vintage feel, plenty of room for everyone, tables to accommodate any group. The decor 'pairs' well with the fun flights to make DW a pleasurable tasting experience. Our service was friendly and courteous, respectful to have us enjoy our reservation at our pace. Overall menu a bit steep... perhaps more than a bit steep. A vineyard destination set apart from the others, this venue is a beautiful setting for a relaxing afternoon.

    We stopped by because I was curious about the mixed reviews. We weren't staying at the hotel so I…read morehoped we'd have a positive experience. We arrived near the end of the day so we had the whole space to ourselves. This was great because we have a toddler and I love being able to explore the space and snap photos without worrying about disturbing other customers. The host was super new to town and the job. Trying to order took a long time because she'd walk away to a far away space (kitchen?) to check on each question. "Can we still order food?" Walks away. "Does the charcuterie plate have any goat or sheep cheese?" Walks away. "I'd like the x tasting and the charcuterie platter." Walks away to put in the charcuterie order (instead of pouring the first wine). I wish she could have texted someone or used a computer/tablet to communicate with the kitchen... or had an experienced person there to provide guidance/training. Eventually we got the snacks and wine. They were each... okay. The wine tasting was a bit awkward because she was reading the descriptions (for the first time??) and seemed surprised by some of the flavors/notes mentioned. I can see us visiting again if we're for some reason in town for an event and the event happens to be here, but I'd rather explore other wineries if it's just us or a group of friends exploring Prosser wine tastings.

    We visited this winery to kill some time as we were staying in a hotel. We have been in the area…read moremany times but were not familiar with this name. The people that work there are more than friendly and very knowledgable about the wine (Bonnie and Jessica). The tasting room is very nicely decorated and quite large. They are dog friendly. We tasted several wines and were quite impressed with some of them. Especially for the price range. Enough so that we joined their wine club. Again reasonable prices for a wine club. Also a different way to order. They require two payments during the year. The money just sits there and you can order what you want, when you want. We like that aspect. We will be back to so some tasting there again. It was a great way to spend a couple of hours. July 2, 2025

I spoke with Gina and she was very accommodating. We had never been there before but got the wonderful surprise of, immediately upon arrival, being escorted to our "reserved" table for two right in front of where the band was going to play. We ordered a wine tasting and were able to conduct it right at our outdoor table (which was a walk for the person who brought out each wine individually and in a timely fashion). We then each ordered a glass of wine to drink during the entertainment, chose some cheese and crackers from their indoor retail refrigerator and had an experience better than we'd ever hoped for. We also purchased 4 bottles of wine (all from the tasting) which were ready for us to pick up on our way out. Wow! Thank you so much to Gina and the staff at WIT! The band was also great. Ashleigh Flynn & The Riveters. Couldn't have asked for a better time.
