We tried the Sunday School Iris wine flight, which came with four 2oz pours ranging from white to red (I loved the chardonnay; my partner loved the Rogue Valley Pinot Noir). We also split the Filbert Sandwich +turkey, which I cannot recommend enough. It was delicious and even came with a side of beans. Despite splitting the wine flight and sandwich, we both left satisfied. It was the perfect amount of food for 2. We loved the dark decor but think it needs more. Some dark hanging curtains would go a long way. We think the hanging art should be lower, with shelves full of intentional books and accoutrement up top. Maybe more of a dog-theme to match the name.

We really enjoyed our visit. Kind staff and the food we shared was delicious. The chopped salad…read moreisn't actually chopped which was confusing but was still quite tasty!

As a newcomer to Olympia, I made it a point to visit several local wine bars. I discovered that many of them mark up their wines by 100% to 200%. What sets Wines by the Valley apart is its unique approach: you purchase the bottle at its retail price and, if you'd like to enjoy it at the bar, simply pay a $10 corkage fee. It's an excellent value and a refreshing concept. I've enjoyed many wines here, and everyone I've tried has been excellent. Patrick and Lisa are incredibly knowledgeable about both Old World and New World wines, and they're always happy to help you find something that suits your palette. Check them out....

It's such a nice place to just sit down and relax and drink some good wine! I look forward to seeing the weekend wine flight that Pat puts together. I really like the optional bonus pour that gives you the opportunity to try a higher end bottle you might not otherwise try. Everyone is so so friendly, I love everyone that works here. They are also quite knowledgeable, and can give you personalized recommendations based on your personal taste. Truly one of my favorite places!

It was cold the day went but, if you get warm weather, try for their outdoor patio. I ordered the lemon rosemary hummus (delish) with gluten free crackers and it came out with lots of sliced veggies, olives and pickled carrots and onions. A great value! My main course was king salmon and it was perfect. I ordered a lemonade and was disappointed that the tall skinny glass it was served in was full to the top with ice, so there was very little left to drink. My husband enjoyed the Cesar salad he ordered, tasted like a traditional Cesar. He tried the special beef cheeks and found them to be very fatty and gelatinous. He wouldn't recommend them. They did have a N/A beer option he was happy about. Service was attentive and friendly.

Mark's Endless Sound Cellars is truly one of Olympia's hidden gems. From the moment you walk…read morethrough the door, you're welcomed into an atmosphere that is warm, inviting, and centered around a genuine passion for great wine. Mark is not only an exceptionally talented winemaker, but also one of the most approachable and knowledgeable people you'll meet. I honestly haven't found a wine he's crafted that I didn't enjoy. What sets him apart is his ability to share his expertise in a way that is engaging, educational, and never intimidating. Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or just beginning to explore wine, Mark takes the time to explain the flavors, aromas, and winemaking process with patience, enthusiasm, and authenticity. My husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed being wine club members and always look forward to the events. The sense of community, the outstanding wines, and the personal touch Mark brings to every experience keep us coming back time and again. Cheers to Mark for creating not only exceptional wines, but also for helping to contribute to Olympia's wine culture in such a meaningful way. Endless Sound Cellars is a true local treasure, and we're grateful to have it in our community! Cheers!

I want to call out the one star review by Melody P. I was at the winery when this occurred and…read morewitnessed the full incident, and I urge you to not judge this winery or its owner based on her review. To be clear, I have been coming to Endless Sound since shortly after it opened and am a wine club member. I was at the winery with friends this evening when I watched this unfold. Melody came in with a man and small child and was told to take a seat. Mark (the owner) was single-handedly managing 20-25 people while preparing for the wine and cheesecake pairing. Shortly after sitting down, Melody got up and went to the counter where she proceeded to verbally accost Mark at a high enough volume where she could be heard throughout the space. She did not allow Mark the chance to respond to her, nor did she ever try to engage with him in a less confrontational manner. After sitting, she sat and waited. She never tried to flag him down. Instead, she went straight to a verbal altercation with a raised voice, in which she made an absolute scene and embarrassed herself. She immediately ran to Yelp and left this review. Frankly, she should be ashamed. To call Mark a racist is also deeply problematic to me. As someone who has been coming to this winery since shortly after it opened, I have never once seen Mark treat anyone with something less than absolute respect and kindness. Melody's accusation has malicious intent, and frankly, maybe she was having a bad day, but Mark is a phenomenal human and welcoming to all. For those of you looking for a real opinion, this is an incredible local spot with great wines, awesome ambiance, a ton of cool events, and a wonderful and knowledgeable winemaker. Pay Mark a visit, you won't be disappointed.

Once we were seated our drinks arrived quickly because Gemma was amazing and made sure that our orders were in before happy hour ended. The guys ordered the oyster tasting menu and enjoyed it. Mini Lobster roll was great and came with hot and fresh fries. Clam chowder bowl was a hit and my bowl of steamed clams was to die for!! The broth was so flavorful with a hint of garlic, butter and white wine. Other entrees ordered by our party were the poke bowl, steak tartare and small salads with their house made blue cheese vinaigrette, with all receiving positive feedback. I will ask for another trip just for the steamed clams

I can see why. The restaurant is quite large with some separate rooms and areas as well as a large outside seating area. We were given water right away and asked if we wanted drinks and bread. The focaccia bread was quite good. Drinks came quickly and we ordered our meal. I had the pumpkin ravioli that came in an apple cider cream sauce with caramelized onions hazelnuts and parmesan. It was an interesting mix of ingredients but tasted great. The other meals for the family were a cheese pizza, rigatoni and spaghetti and meatballs, all good and enjoyed. For dessert I had the tiramisu which I enjoyed. Service was great, food was really good and we all liked it a lot and would go back again to try something else.

There's so much seating in front, inside at the bar, inside at the nook rooms (it's a house converted to a tap room), as well are more outside seating on the side and in the back! The barstools are lovely and heavy. So sturdy and comfortable for being iron and wood. The service is always friendly and welcoming, offering suggestions and will go out of their way to try and locate a beer if you were looking for something specific (they may just have more in stock in their storage area so don't be afraid to ask if you want a beer that you don't see in the coolers for can/bottle purchase). This is just a great place to relax and enjoy! There's food trucks next door but I'm not sure what their hours are. I was there Sunday in the afternoon and the food trucks were closed. But you can bring in outside food anyway and don't have to rely on just those trucks.
