Love the swings outside! Such a fun tasting room. The wines were lovely as was our host. Such a great experience

This was our favorite tasting of our journey! Hostess Alexandra was warm and charming and made our visit very enjoyable. Loved the ambiance and all the details that added so much to the space. The brick, huge barn door, artwork, and swings brought a warm welcome to our visit. Only dilemma was having to decide on which wines to take home. Thanks for all you do! read more

Kontos Cellars offers a wonderful wine tasting experience in Walla Walla. The tasting flight included six delicious wines, which our server, Barbara, described with humor and a self-confidence borne of her full-spectrum wine industry experience that includes working "the crush" for a full season, then moving into the tasting room. Her knowledge of Kontos Cellars wines, vineyard sources, and both varietal and blend information helped to make our tasting experience both informative and entertaining which helped us identify the 2022 Malbec for our newest wine cellar acquisition! Barbara is an absolute delight, her impromptu witty repartee is refreshing, and Kontos Cellars tasting room is a "must visit" in Walla Walla. read more

Kontos is always a great place to stop when in the area. Their wines are good, we particularly tend to enjoy their blends. Prices are very comparable to surrounding businesses, and the venue is great. Lots of seating both indoor and on their patio. Tasting included 6 wines, plus a few addition pours that were offered. Our server, Barbara, was hilarious and personable, she gave us a great experience! read more

Very nice wine tasting boutique in the heart of this beautiful town. Good wine, customer service, and clean modern establishment. Two bottles purchase needed for a free tasting. Highly recommended! read more

Beautiful outside (covered) patio in the back, located in a center of Walla Walla downtown on the main Street. You can spot the dragonfly logo easily, so you won't miss it. We decided to stop by after three wineries and before dinner to hang out, and I could not do full tasting... but if you are full body red lovers, their cab is big and Malbec is also good. Touch sweet profile for me but juicy and plummy. Yelp has a free tasting coupon, so check this place when you are in town. read more

First time here and fully enjoyed ourselves. The building is fantastic! Love the brick and the industrial feel of the place. The atmosphere is great, laid back and cool. Xandria was our tasting host.

Had a great tasting hosted by Alexis and chatted with the winemaker who is founder's son who was there that evening. Tasty, rich wines which featured a touch more oak influence than we tend to like, but nonetheless, varietal uniqueness was expressed and we enjoyed each one. My wife really liked the sweeter white blend called Gossamer. Great winery with a fascinating and interesting story! read more

They wouldn't serve us a wine flight at 5:32 (they close at 6:30) and they no longer serve food or small plates for those looking. The only disappointment during our trip to Walla Walla. read more

Can't beat a free tasting and our server was very knowledgeable about the area and the wines. Purchased a bottle to take home too read more

Kontos Cellars - Tasting room in Walla Walla - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Walla Walla, Washington

We had a wine tasting for 3 people, hosted by server Alexis who is very friendly and knowledgeable. We got a selection of 6 different wines. There is no pricing on the menu and I did not inquire the price. We each checked in on Yelp for their offer of 1 free wine tasting per check-in, and free wine tasting is extremely rare these days (yet common back in the day, before I hit 21). Among the 6 wines, I really liked the merlot and syrah. I somehow shamefully lost all my pictures I took because I forgot to save them from my story, but I will definitely return here in a future Walla Walla trip and show my friends this experience! read more

Fun vibe, great wine and excellent service! Swings are a nice touch. Jump on one if you can! read more

Alexis was so knowledgeable and the wine and venue was fabulous. Wonderful vibe. Great selection of dry reds

Tucked away off Rose in The Jones Building, you will find a comfortable red brick studio offering up really great wines from the Walla Walla Ava. Daughter in the 7th generation of farmers and wine makers is working today. The Fysalides sparkling wine really got us rocking from the start. Bright honey color with huge green apple. You'll enjoy all their wines and the cheerful staff. read more

Purely based on the wine, enjoyed the Fysalides (bubbles) and the Malbec. And Xandria, our hostess, was excellent. Super knowledge and gave awesome service. read more

Nice tasting area with lots of space and freiednly staff. Not necessarily my favorite wines from the area, but we picked up a bottle of their Malbec, which was fairly interesting. Conveniently located to the restaurants and shops on Main Street. read more

Kontos Cellars - Interior - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Walla Walla, Washington

Man, I really wanted to like Kontos Cellars because the owner was incredibly friendly and personable, and it was the only winery that had a free wine tasting if you checked in on Yelp! Such great positives, so the stars are really for that. Plus, their space is really nice, especially their outdoor patio that's dog-friendly and seemed to be where most people gathered. But unfortunately, the wine just fell short for us. Kontos Cellars offers seven wines for their tasting, which is more than other wineries. The first two tastings were white wines, including one called Fysalides, which is known for their small bubbles. Unfortunately, the Fysalides was wayyy too sweet. When I took a sip of it I was very surprised by how sweet it was since it was so unexpected. Much was the case for the second white wine, Gossamer. Both of the white wines were a blend, made with chardonnay, thus, the sweet factor. The reds were A-OK. The tasting got better further into the menu, as the flavors were getting more bold. The best one by far was the last wine, the Malbec, which many people were getting bottles of. Again, love how friendly the owner was and it was cool to learn about their family background and business. But for my preference of full-bodied, savory wines, Kontos Cellars doesn't seem to be my cuppa tea...or wine in this instance. read more

Mary and I had never heard of this winery, so we stopped in to sample some wines. They have a very upscale tasting room in downtown Walla Walla, with nice outdoor patio. We tasted a variety of good wines. Andy who was serving was outstanding, very knowledgeable on wine, personable, and helpful; this kind of employee sets any kind of business apart from the competition; he should get a big raise! read more

By far this place had the best wine, best environment and overall best experience. It was a true wine tasting, and winemaker Cameron shared bits of their family history and wine journey with each pour. Ample time between pours gave ustime to enjoy our company and decide our days agenda. The Malbec and Syrah were our hands-down favorites, and of course we bought bottles to-go. Glad we got to enjoy time with both sets of neighbors in the swanky upstairs loft, celebrating all three of our anniversaries this weekend. The loft provided very comfortable couches, extra chairs and swings mounted from the ceiling. We will definitely be back and look forward to tasting there wines again, and new releases. read more

Kontos did an excellent job of accommodating my family for a wine tasting when we were visiting the area! The interior of their tasting room is a great atmosphere with trendy decorations and a casual vibe. The upstairs loft is the perfect spot to hang out, plus the swinging chairs up there make for a great photo op. They had an delicious selection of various wines on their tastings menu, so you get to try a little of everything. We had Andy as our server and he was fantastic - super knowledgeable about the wines and very attentive. I would definitely recommend Kontos to try for those in the area looking for a fun experience! read more

Nice tasting room in downtown Walla Walla. We visited on a weekday during COVID-19 Phase 2 restrictions, so reservations were required and seating was outside. AMBIANCE: 3.0. Outside seating was shaded and quite pleasant, especially if one has the relatively isolated 4-seat table closest to the street. SERVICE: 3.0. Professional and timely. The smartphone-friendly barcode on the tables connected to a web site that explained the wines in the tasting, which was a nice touch. WINE: 3.5. Though we didn't purchase a bottle to take home, the wines were smooth. read more

This places delivers. The wine is delicious and the friendly staff and fun atmosphere is an added bonus. Our waiter Andrew was super knowledgeable about the wine and very personable. There are swings and really comfortable couches upstairs. So far this is my favorite of Walla Walla! Only con is the lighting doesn't allow for the most instagramable pictures read more

This was a cute tasting room with great wine and great service! What more would you need? The man working was really personable and friendly. I can't believe the tasting fees are only $10 around here! Where I'm from, usually 25-30 is a standard price. 7 wines total, 2 whites and 5 reds. We enjoyed all of them. Purchased bottles of our 3 favorites: Fysalides, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah. I'm happy we stopped here on our first day in town! Would definitely recommend! read more

Lovely winemakers and cute tasting room in the downtown area. They have one of the latest open hours in the area and the Kontos brothers are super friendly and welcoming.

If you haven't visited Kontos Cellars on 2nd Avenue in Walla Walla you are missing out on great wine with a welcoming experience. We popped in on the day before thanksgiving and enjoyed a pleasant tasting experience with Bre who is ready with knowledge of the valley, local restaurants, and the history of this family winery. There are normally 5-6 wines to taste with a $10 tasting fee refunded with a bottle purchase. This visit the 2015 Cab was my favorite with its jammy flavor. The Alatus named after the family sail boat is my standby favorite. But...get on the member list and you can purchase the Boss - a father/son collaboration wine that is out of this world. The tasting room often hosts events and music on weekends and good can be ordered from a limited menu from a near by restaurant. This location is walkable from downtown hotels and restaurants and worthy of an hour of your tasting time and putting your name in the member list!! read more

Kindest servers EVER. Got to meet the owner and he explained the personal history behind each DELICIOUS wine they make, and even let us try THE BOSS wine, an exclusive for club members! Highly recommend going if you're looking for a small town feel with an incredibly intimate atmosphere. Thanks for making us feel so at home and letting us celebrate our friend's birthday in style! We will be back! read more

What a delightful find! We decided to pop in because of another Yelpers review and I am so glad we did. The space was so charming with a patio covered in colorful umbrellas, exposed bricks on the inside seating area, and cozy nook upstairs complete with swings! The charcuterie board was well worth the price and accompanied our bottle of delicious Syrah perfectly. Did I mention our knowledgeable and attentive wine angel? She was such a delight! But unfortunately I have the memory of a gnat and do not remember her name! Or maybe I just got lost in such a delightful memory of a wonderful time spent at Kontos. Go! You will be happy you did read more

Awesome wines. Awesome service. Great outdoor seating. The Malbec and Syrah were very yummy. read more

At the end of tasting in the countryside, we were eager to get to town and have dinner, then try some of the tasting rooms in town, since it was my first time in Walla Walla. My friends chose Kontos because they'd been here before and really love their wines. The tasting room was the prettiest, that I'd seen, in walking past a few to get here. Upon entering, the owner gave us delectable cupcakes and then began to pour; coming to our table for each wine, so we wouldn't have to stand - after standing all day. I always prefer reds but I remember enjoying all of what we were served. I think we paid $10 but that is nothing compared to prices in Napa, or even in Oregon's wine country. Good service is always the most important aspect and it was really cool that the owner made conversation with us outside of shop talk, visting about our families and happenings about town. This is a tasting room you want to visit when staying in Walla Walla. read more

Great wine tasting! Nice people and if you are crafty you can get a free wine taste!

Kontos is my favorite downtown Walla Walla tasting room and one of my favorite wineries period. The wines are amazing. Big, bold reds and delightful whites. The staff is incredible and make everyone feel like they are the most important person in the tasting room. A must visit for Walla Walla and one of my top 2 wine clubs! read more

Beautiful tasting room and great service from Steve. It was raining outside but we had a great experience inside and enjoyed some fantastic wine. Cab Sauvignon, Malbec and the Alatus blend were the favorites. Hopefully we get to return soon! read more
