The place is very kid friendly with lots of room to run and play. Ultimately though I can't give 5 stars because their events are not super well organized. We attended for Easter and the hunt for toddlers started before it was supposed to and then they did a second one for all ages which was just chaotic. It didn't make sense why they didn't follow the timeline on the website and tickets. Ultimately I hope they can clean this up for the future!

There are high top tables and cozy gathering spots. I appreciated the effort put into making the space inviting with colorful chairs, good lighting, and festive conversation areas. We had a long list of wines from which to select. My husband was better at asking good questions than I after our long day of travel, but we both ended up choosing flights of nice wines to sample. Of the 6 we tried, I think our favorite was the Albariño white. All were good, and we also really enjoyed the reserve Malbec. We noshed on the pesto Brie and the fig jam flatbread to accompany our wine. The flatbread came with goat cheese which we can go either way for us. This goat cheese seemed mild and our server recommended a drizzle of balsamic to balance it out. Great suggestion! The icing on top of our visit was our server - whose name unfortunately can't recall. When we asked for recommendations for other local wineries to visit, she offered to make us a list and wrote the down for us. Above and beyond kindness! We'd come here often if we were locals and I highly recommend this establishment to those visiting the area. Cheers!

I'm a big fan of the wine scene in Eastern Washington and an even bigger fan of Longship Cellars!…read more I was visiting the Tri Cities for work and was graciously invited to happy hour at Longship Cellars by our amazing client. She's a member here and I understand why. The service, the wine, the atmosphere- all were so great. They have created a very nice space with cozy nooks and chic decor. We sat on the blue velvet couches tucked away along the window. As we perused the menu, we decided between a mix of flights. They were doing a few blind flight tastings that I didn't partake in, but my co-worker and client did. They brought out three wines and you got a little card that would reveal which was which. What a creative idea! All the wines we enjoyed were absolutely delicious! I can be a little particular about what I like, but these were great and absolutely matched my palette. Although we didn't order any, they also had a lot of yummy food options and the baked brie and goat cheese both smelled delicious. Service was so sweet and so attentive. The staff was very friendly! This was an excellent tasting room experience and I hope to get to go back soon!

We had a reservation, and they had our table ready the moment we walked in -- comfortable, well-placed, and perfect for conversation. The staff here deserves a shoutout. Friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful when it came to picking drinks and explaining the menu without rushing us. They gave us that perfect balance of attention and space. First up: the chicken tortilla soup. This thing was flavorful, comforting, and packed with that slow-cooked, homemade taste. Honestly, it was delicious as-is, but a couple slices of avocado would seriously take it to the next level. Still -- a great start. Now the paella... WOW. A good size portion, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The rice was cooked perfectly -- not mushy, not dry -- and honestly better than what I've had at a lot of dedicated Spanish restaurants. The mix of seafood and chicken was generous, the seasoning was bright and warm, and every bite hit exactly how paella should. It was the star of the night. We paired everything with sangrias, and they were fantastic -- refreshing, not overly sweet, and just the right complement to the meal. The berry sangria especially worked ridiculously well with the paella. Overall, Tagaris gave us a solid, memorable dinner. Great service, great food, cozy atmosphere, and everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully made. Definitely a place we'll be returning to.

The entire place has this "European chateau" vibe that's impossible to fake -- from the architecture to the art to the view over the vineyard rows. Even the drive up feels like you're heading somewhere special. I added a note to our reservation asking for a spot by the fireplace and mentioned we were celebrating a birthday. Not only did they honor it, they nailed it. The chairs were warm, comfortable, and the whole room felt cozy in that old-world way -- fire crackling, candles glowing, and the kind of ambiance that makes you want to slow down and savor everything. The wines were bold and delicious, especially the reds. You can tell they take their craft seriously. They even brought out a little birthday treat, which was such a thoughtful touch and made the moment feel even more personal. We also ordered the cheese plate and honestly, it was perfect. Three different cheeses, a mix of crackers, olives, tiny pickles, and what I'm pretty sure was apricot jam -- everything balanced each other beautifully. Paired with the wine, it felt like the world outside just... paused for a bit. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful without hovering. They made sure we had everything we needed and explained the wines clearly, but still let us relax, enjoy, and take in the atmosphere. If you want a place that transports you, even just for an hour or two, Hedges is absolutely worth the visit. It's one of those wineries where you don't just taste the wine -- you feel the entire experience.

Their wines were exactly what I was looking for. Fantastic, full bodied flavor. And Shae would chat us up whenever she dropped a tasting, not just to talk about the wine, but really just chat.
