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.

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.

Waitress couldn't get from behind the bar because she had to entertain her friends gathered there. When asked for something, a snippy "I'll get to you" and then another 20 minutes later she arrives.

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.

We've had him the last three times we've come in for family celebrations, and he's seriously the best. He's so patient, friendly, and always makes us feel welcome (and trust me, not everyone is as easygoing as my mom ). He absolutely deserves the recognition! If you're visiting Olympia, grab a flight of local wines, order the cheese fondue, and if the weather's nice, sit outside for sunset. Swing is one of those places that always delivers, and we'll definitely be back!

Last night I had the 'Charming and Smooth' which ranged from a chilled red to a Pinot The Chianti blew my mind. It tasted like a Madeira before it was fully aged with dry fruit notes.

Figgins) that are great if you are there with a group and in the mood to spend a bit more on a 'rare' WA piece. The staff and owners are always friendly and love to talk wine.

Casual, but nice decor with two private rooms if you wanted privacy. We ended up ordering a few bottles of wine. Becky the bartender was really accommodating with letting us sample the wine before we decided on buying it. She was also great with answering questions- able to balance doing her job with making us feel like friends at the same time. We also ordered a few charcuterie boards which were thoughtfully prepared and generous with their items. The patrons here were all so friendly and everyone was really sweet- we felt so welcomed! It ended up with everyone in the bar chatting with each other and we all even did a little karaoke. That was my first time doing karaoke and it was a blast! The owners son (how did I not get his name?) set up the karaoke and was just so much fun and so personable. This was the best night of our two week trip!
