Service was excellent. We tried the cab franc, GSM, and the reserve Syrah. The wine was lovely. We also had the Brie with fig jam and that was delightful. The music was a bit loud but the singer had a lovely voice. Also grateful they were open late. It's my birthday weekend and they surprised me with a yummy red velvet cupcake read more

Great place to stop by for a $20 wine tasting with a small tight knit community feel. Staff was very friendly and they had live music performed from 4-6 on Sundays. read more

Really good customer service, friendly and knowledgeable. Although they had many whites to choose from some were very similar in flavor. The ice wine was delightful tho! read more

It's never a bad idea to stop in walla for a wine tasting. I was familiar with Gard because a few years ago I had stopped in walla and the sommelier at the wine shop told me they had an ice wine. Say less, I freaking love a good dessert wine. I bought it and was on a quest to get more ever since! I finally made it back and stopped in to see if they had any left and just my luck they did!!! I also did a little tasting which was just fabulous and paired perfectly with a little cheese board. The outside tables are perfectly positioned to have wine Pup hang out with you and I can't say more good things about the service! I ended up buying like 6 bottles (whoopsie!) Because I tasted so many good ones. In addition to the ice wine (if they have it) they have a really great cab franc that I'll be hunting down again. read more

Came in on the 2nd of Dec. I was a little weary as there was a guy nodding off sitting at the bar near the musician. Had a glass of Merlot, it was excellent and finally a musician of merit. Listened for about 40 minutes, best music I've heard in the area to date. Thank you. read more

Wow! A great vibe and Linda was so amazing. Knowledgeable about the wines and clearly connected to locals. A great spot..easy to follow locals. read more

Friendly downtown tasting location, the server was knowledgeable about the winery and the wines, and super friendly to all patrons regulars and tourists. Wines were consistent and varied; our favorites were the Riesling and the Vacluse red blend. read more

Good wine! Especially "The Don!" Greatest ladies serving too! Leslie & Paula are awesome--so real, kimd, informative and fun! Loved this place! Great atmosphere! read more

I'm giving it a bit of a downgrade due to the music, It was just out of character for the place. The trio was not good!

Went there for first time and absolutely loved the 2015 Viognier. The space was great and they happened to have music that night. The service was great as well. Will definitely be back! read more

Good service and good atmosphere; we loved The Don and the Pinot Noir. Great value and quality.

I am a member of Gard Winery and I love their wines and everything about them. I joined in Ellensburg and am there frequently as I have family there. On November 9 I met a group of friends in Walla Walla for two days. I could not wait to take them to Gard in WW. We arrived around 4 a group of 7. First we were told that we could not take a large hightop, because a reservation was coming in. So we took a chair/sofa grouping and were immediately scolded for moving the chairs closer. We ordered two bottles of white, and I asked for a chiller. When it did not arrive, I got up, went to the bar where the server was and asked her for two chillers. I got some sort of weird story about winter and freezer space that made no sense. No chillers. Not once did she come over to pour more wine or ask if we wanted food or anything else. I was so embarrassed because I had looked forward to sharing what my experience with Gard in Ellensburg has always been. The entire time we were there, she stayed at the bar, and there was no one else there!!! One man came in, had a glass at the bar and left. I don't want to be unkind, but this is not what I expected. read more

Was in downtown yesterday exploring and decided to try out a tasting. Came across Gard and we were the only ones with expectation of one woman who I believed worked there and then the woman who helped us. I didn't catch her name but she was very friendly. Tried several different types and actually ended up buying 2. Was great to hear about the different wines and the owners. Only negative thing I would say about our visit was the lady who helped us was also busy talking to the other woman who I assumed worked there but didn't start until the evening. She would be talking to us and then to this other woman and they would be talking about work or whatever else. I just felt like since we were there the attention should have been on us or engaged a little bit more. Not sure I would come back to this particular location but did enjoy the tastings. read more

Top of the line. My wife and I have been visiting Walla Walla annually for 7 years and Gard's red wines are the in our top 3.

We are always happy with our visits to Gard! The space is perfectly tucked in the heart of downtown Walla Walla and provides a comfortable spot for enjoying the sights and sounds of our quaint city. The staff are knowledgeable, informative and pleasant with each pour! We had the pleasure of attending several wineries for the Spring Release (2018) and found Gard to stand out above all the rest. Every bottle was absolutely delicious! We will come back again and again and look forward to all future Gard wines! read more

One of my favorite tasting experiences in Walla Walla. The hostess, red haired but i forgot her name (pictured on this site), tasted most of the wines to make sure they were right or had not been sitting for too long as I was her first customer of the day. She was very knowledgable. She was offering mostly reds, did offer to open a white I was interested in. I walked away with two bottles and have enjoyed these. I did not expect a quality experience in a non-winery setting- but heartedly recommend this downtown setting. The wines,I felt, were very good. read more

Very friendly and stayed longer for us since we arrived into town late. The wine was delightful and I will definitely be going back next time I'm passing through! read more

We showed up right after closing and Linda gave us a wonderful tasting anyway. The wines where very high quality but the experience was wonderful. If you can only taste one more Winery Downtown makes sure it is Gard. Neil read more

We (10 of us) had a private tasting/pizza party after hours in September at the downtown Walla Walla tasting room and Linda was our pourer/educator and hostess. We tried 6 wines and Linda's knowledge of the winery, owners, and the wines themselves was informative and interesting. The wines were very good and several of us went over budget with what we took home and it was well worth it. Stop by and find out for yourself why Gård gets 5 from me! read more

Gård's wines excel in expressing the uniqueness of the region, across a number of different varietals. A great part of Walla Walla is how the climate and geography affect different kinds of wines and Gård capitalizes on this uniqueness through everything from a light, floral viognier to a dark, intense syrah and more. The friendly staff make for a positive, informative, and accessible tasting experience. There's something for everyone at this tasting room. I'm by no means a wine expert, but I do deeply enjoy tasting and leaning about wine, and I will be recommending Gård to friends and family in the future. read more
