I loved the folk-style sort of aesthetic with the decorations scattered everywhere in this place. glad that there were tables, but all with stools only. wine was okay and something you would see on the cheaper section of stores like BevMo, Walmart, etc. not much to do around this plaza square in Yakima, too...

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.

We specifically picked Owen Roe to visit while in Yakama, given we enjoyed the Newburg, OR tasting…read moreroom (which I think is closed now). We sat outside, under a tree, with our pups. They bring the wine pre-poured in mini-carafe's (I'm sure there's a proper name for them), and include a "blind" pour that if you guess correctly, you win a prize (which I did not.) The outside area is spectacular, with trees for shade, the views for miles, and the feel of being somewhere special. Service was OK, they bring you pre-poured if you sit outside, and they may check back in on you if they aren't too busy. It seemed our server was on the new side, and she told us 4 times she had only been there a few days. Inside, I think it might be a more traditional experience, but can't confirm. There is also a good-sized seating area inside - and you're able to see the other vintage/varietals available for purchase. Wines by the glass are available, but not for everything, and only for bottles they have already opened. I wanted to try their Sangiovese, but they weren't pouring it, and bummer they didn't have one open to taste - I would have loved to try it. I recommend (based upon my palate) the Abbot's Table and the Sinister Hand (fun background story as well). I didn't care for the rose - it was sweeter than I prefer. Regardless, come visit and you're bound to find something to suit your taste. So why 4-stars? I just have high expectations of servers when I'm tasting wine, and I didn't get the feeling that ours knew the product well, so I didn't feel like I would get much education (which is part of why I, myself, enjoy wine tasting - to learn something new).

It has the vibe of an old barn converted into a tasting room. There is limited seating, both indoors and out, but plenty of shade and sun outside depending on where you want to sit. There is also quite a large patch of grass if you want to bring a blanket and do your tasting picnic-style. The wines were very good. And since this was our first stop of the day, I am confident in saying so! The tasting fee and bottles are also very affordable. The Allobroges is a rather unique of Grenache, Syrah and Mouvedre. I liked it enough to buy some for the road. Contrary to what you may read, tastings are NOT by appointment only. We walked in and were served quite immediately. Walk-ins are welcome for groups smaller than 8. They do private events and weddings.

When I reflect on my wedding, it's hard to choose which part was the most beautiful. But if I had…read moreto pick just one element, I'd have to say my venue. From the rolling green hills in the background to the gorgeous landscaping on the lower and main lawns, our guests were in awe of Fontaine Estates Winery. It really did all the heavy lifting when it came to creating a truly memorable and beautiful outdoor wedding. Neither my husband nor myself are from the area, but we wanted to do a wedding in central Washington since the weather is more dependable in late summer compared to our area in Seattle. So we took a real gamble in doing a wedding in Naches with little knowledge of the region and we're so happy it paid off! The memory of the sun setting over our outdoor dinner reception is one that'll stay with me forever. As for Amy, she was a total dream to work with. She was so patient and calmly fielded every question I threw her way from venue logistics to decor rentals to day-of scheduling. And on the actual *day* of my wedding, she was busy overseeing clean-up of the venue, making sure everything was running smoothly with vendors, and even drove a forklift to move our reception rentals from the parking lot to the main lawn for us. She takes real pride in the upkeep and presentation of her venue as well as making sure her clients are taken care of and it really, really shows. Thank you for everything Amy and the team at Fontaine Estates Winery! I couldn't imagine a more perfect outdoor/vineyard venue than this one.

The folks running the place are local and have been doing the wine thing for more than a decade. We had a nice chat with the gentleman who runs the place and also got to sample a number of wines. There were something like 8 for sale, mostly reds. The Columbia Valley White was delicious and would be perfect on a sunny day! The reds were all very nice, ranging from a couple Syrahs (the 2011 was our favorite) to a Can Sauv called Whipping boy! Tasting fee was waved if you bought a bottle and they ranged from $15-30 per bottle. The reds were all solid and the white was darn near perfect! They're open on Friday and weekend afternoons. We'll definitely be back and likely after stopping in at the Haberdasher store next door!
