I always have a nice time at Freehand. The views are beautiful. The wine is always good. The service is absolutely the BEST! I've always felt like the staff knows their wine well. They are friendly and welcoming. It's a great stop for a wine date or a tour. read more

Love this place so much! There's a bunch of open space for seating especially outside. I love the cute little patio that can be rented out for events. Great place for a tasting since there was a white and reds flight option. If you're lucky, you might see a cute little cat around too! read more

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. Really rude service. The waitress had a bad attitude same with manager.

Absolutely breathtaking views of Mt. Adams. Picnic tables in the shade. I could spend an entire day sitting there drinking wine- however, not THEIR wine. I ordered the flight of white wine (90° day), $20 per tasting waved if you bought two bottles. No bottle cheaper than $25. I could not finish ONE of the tastes in the flight. None of the wine was even remotely good. I understand wine is expensive but- wine that is terrible on top of that is just- man. I just feel like it's a wasted opportunity for SUCH a beautiful piece of property. I was bummed. read more

Gorgeous place. I really enjoy being at a winery and getting to relax, enjoy some lovely wine in a beautiful setting. It was a very warm or hot day depending on how you feel about temps in the 90's. Me- i see a gorgeous deck offering with a view so outside it is! We decided to order a small plate of grilled harissa chicken skewers with tzatziki, French bread and some fruit from their orchard. The skewers were delicious! Throughly enjoyed the wine and would definitely come back again. The interior is also comfortable and spacious. The staff were gracious and helpful. read more

Quite the beautiful spot, and they have a good operation. Nice lunch, decent enough wines, lovely grounds. Would have been nice to try a flight, but they were revenue harvesting for the holiday. Only glass pours. read more

Beautiful space with beautiful views. I'm pretty particular about my wine, so if I leave a vineyard with a bottle, that is usually a good sign. I travel with a wine case that only holds 12 bottles so I have to be very selective. I left here with a bottle of their Cabernet Sauvignon. Unlike a lot of vineyards in the region, this one offers a pretty comprehensive food menu beyond your typical charcuterie. The prices of both their tasting fees and wines are very reasonable. Their most expensive bottle appears to run in the high $30s. The staff here is very friendly and offered recommendations for other local vineyards. Dogs are welcome. read more

I love this place! Came a couple of times. So romantic and private. Would recommend the cheesecake too. I tried both the red and white wines and I preferred the white, but red was good too. They also let us stay outside for as long as we wanted even though they closed up. Great service! read more

We came here after going to another winery. We wanted to try one more place before everything closed (wineries close around 5pm around here). Very beuatiful location with a good view. Staff was very friendly and helped us pick out a good drink. One of us had rose and then other got their summer sangria, both of which were good. We got a cheese plater, which was a little small. Next time I would probably get something else more worth the money. Nice outdoor covered patio. They were getting ready for a private event when we were there, so some areas were off limits. Great for large groups and good indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Horrible wine...horrible service. So we decided to try FreeHand Cellars after it changed from Windy Point Winery. You walk in...the first thing they do is confiscate your credit card and put it on file. They said the tasting was going to be 2 full glasses for 25.00 a tasting, you get less than one glass of mediocre wine. We had spent the day tasting at pretty cool boutique wineries ie; Whitman Winery, Cultura and La Pierre. Those wineries were incredible. Years ago we went to this same winery and the customer service was horrible. We had 40+ women in a wine group willing to buy and enjoy their wine, even stayed for lunch. They overcharged us for lunch and then charged us for tasting. We walked out buying nothing. The setting is not worth this service or quality of wine. Don't bother to spend your money or waste your time at this establishment. They are rude and crude. They don't even know or explain the wine they are serving. The Yakima wine industry is struggling, trust me this winery will not make it. The people of Yakima county are smarter than this. Do your research. Go to Sheridan, Whitman. La Pierre, Cultura, etc....they will treat you well. ok...we learned. later the manager Tyra is absolutely crazy...Her reputation in the valley is poor. She sits and watches the customers and employees from a remote camera. And then harasses the employees and customers from her remote camera probably sitting in her damn pj's at home. She is not even on site. If you want to be spied on and have a manager sit and watch you on a camera without a life, then spend your money at Freehand. Personally, I will resort to other options in the valley for wine. Please don't bother with this place. By the way...I have never wrote a review like this. All of my other reviews are positive and honest. We will never enter this establishment again...ever...WASTE OF TIME. read more

What a wonderful winery in the Yakima Valley. Freehand Cellars is one you won't want to miss in the area, as they offer solid red wines in a beautiful, mid-century modern setting with a ton of space. Before we visited, we contacted Freehand Cellars to see if they needed reservations, which they do not require, compared to other wineries in the area. It made visiting this winery all the easier since we could show up whenever was most convenient for us. We even visited on a Saturday where a wedding took place, and they still allowed guests to visit the winery. My friends and I each did a flight, which included five one-ounce samples, two whites and three reds. I liked that they poured all of the wines in the beginning, so that we could pour the rest ourselves, which allowed us to take our time with the tasting versus feeling rushed to have to finish in order to try the next sample. We also all shared a charcuterie plate, which was a great snack. I liked all of the red wines, but would say the cab sauv was my favorite. For anyone who likes cab sauvs, this is definitely a solid one. You must buy two bottles to waive the tasting fee, which was no problem for us. However, two of my friends and I bought the cab sauv and until we got back to Bellevue did we realize that they gave us a cab franc instead. DOH! That was a bummer, but at least all the red wines are good here. read more

Freehand Cellars is in an ideal location. Set atop a hill overlooking vineyards and the valley, the view can't be beat. The tasting room is spacious and the tables well spaced to give a private feel. There were 4 tastings for $20, which is at the top end of price. The wines themselves are well priced. They offer a nice selection of appetizers. We tried the lobster bites, which were presented beautifully and tasted great. Being wintertime, a mulled wine was offered, which was excellent in our opinions. Once at a table everything was served, which is a nice touch. Being most interested in reds, we were pleasantly surprised to taste both a pinot gris and a rose that we preferred over their red choices. Freehand is worthy of a return visit for the view if nothing else. read more

We've known about this spot since it opened, but never seemed to have time to check it out. We finally made it out on a cold/sunny day in early January and it quickly ranked as one of our favorite winery trips! The physical building is beautiful inside and out - it's architecturally pretty stunning with a very warm inside with great seating areas, a fire and lot of windows overlooking the area. Outside, they have a large patio that gazes upon Mount Adams as well as lot of picnic tables in the surrounding orchards and vineyards. There are great options no matter who's in your party! The food here was creative and very good. It's a little pricey, but these days being able to go hang out is totally worth it! The s'mores wear a particularly fun dessert as it comes with a small ceramic bowl of lighter fluid over which you can cook the s'mores. It was an activity for the kids and it made it more interactive for us. The charcuterie board was very nice and the warm goat cheese with honey was particularly good. The pizzas were artisan looking, and definitely personal sized à la old-school Pizza Hut for book it...Yeah, you remember that personal pan pizza as the reason why you would read through 30 bucks or whatever it was that you needed to do to obtain that glory. This is like a fancy version of that, and you don't get it for free because you read some books. Adulting can be hard! We have not sampled a lot of the wines here, but what we've had has been good. The Cabernet Sauvignon was nice, and we've had a couple of their lighter ones in the past and enjoyed all of them. All in all, a great spot to check out any day! read more

This is a gorgeous winery, and for me, they check off all of the important boxes. The wines are very good from white to red. They have tastings and waive the cost with purchase of two bottles. Please note it's very easy to sit and drink two bottles with friends on the beautiful lawn or patio with breathtaking views. The buildings itself is a very modern and sleek space. They have a menu with a nice list of nosh that compliments the wine such as charcuterie and flatbread. They sell some of their products inside such as the hot honey and spicy apricot preserves. They also have beer and hard cider for non wine drinkers which is nice for a mixed crowd. They had live music when we were there. They have rooms and hot tubs on air bnb. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Absolutely love this winery! read more

Great atmosphere, service, and food. Some of the red wines can be a little bit more oak flavor if you like more mild red. The white wine is great. Personally not a fan of Rose. During weekdays has a chill vibe than crowed weekend. read more

Wow. This place was awesome. The ambience, the views, the wine, everything is top notch. Icing on the cake was they were serving perfectly spiced, hot mulled wine this month. And the cherry on that cake, they had a "cookie competition" going on the day we went. So we got to eat a bunch of delicious cookies and vote for the best one. Now that's what I call festive spirit. Absolutely loved this place and will return soon. read more

Profoundly unimpressed with my most recent visit. Brought family to Freehand for the view. Wine was uninspired in a profound way which I kind of expected however I was hopeful for the food which looked quite good from the pictures. Feta pasta was served mostly cold which left it tasting off. Baked Brie was minimally baked and mostly cool making what should have been. Creamy oozy Brie hard and not consistent with what was expected. To top it off We accidentally left our credit card and when I returned I was challenged as to why we hadn't left a tip which I felt was tactless. Gorgeous view. Unimpressive service, tactless challenge and uninspired food with minimal to no attention to serving it correctly. Disappointing for sure with so many high quality other wineries in the valley. read more

Amazing view and patio to enjoy the wine tasting, good food and local fruit. The service was good too. Highly recommend it

Freehand Cellars Amazing Tasting Room! We stopped in at Freehand in Wapato on a Thursday afternoon. The tasting room is phenomenal. It is brand new and very modern. When we mentioned how much we liked the room, the girl who was helping us mentioned that one of the owners is an architect - so there you go. There is also a B & B on the property which is brand new as well. The wines were good. I feel after some time they will be even better. After the tasting my husband and I shared a cab franc out underneath the big shade trees. I did like how the wines were compared to architectural landmarks like the Guggenheim. read more

Easily one of the top three wineries we visited in the Yakima Valley. The grounds are sprawling and gorgeous overlooking the vineyards and the entire valley. The Syrah was our favorite taste of the day, with fruit forward notes and less peppery than most of the Valley's big reds. Bonus for e-car drivers...they have two charging outlets. The only charging option south of downtown Yakima. The perfect place to grab some volts and sip some wine from their grassy patio under the shade of an aging tree. read more
