Reviews for Freehand Cellars in Wapato, WA
Visited here recently on a trip through the area. I feel like this place could go either way between 3 or 4 stars depending on... your personal tastes. The tasting room is quite nice but I wouldn't say its markedly better than others in the area I visited.The wine on the tasting menu had a theme to me...smoky. everything had a smoke flavor to it, including the whites that we tried.We even tried a moscato that wasn't on the tasting flight and I still got a very dry (especially for a moscato) smoky flavor.The service was quick but fairly impersonal, they poured all the glasses for the tasting, gave you a list, and sent you on yourway to help the next person. I did not try the food so I can't comment on that. Read more
Gorgeous setting and good wine. Their food options are really good too! Chicken skewers are a must try. Filled pasta shells and... cheese board were also a hit. We went on a weekday and had plenty of seating to choose from. Returned Saturday evening and theplace was super packed. They also had live music on Saturday. Beautiful spot to enjoy the sunset overlooking the valley. Overalla great experience! Read more
A beautiful event setting, a gorgeous view of the valley, with a great selection of wines, ales, food and snacks!
This place is amazing for so many reasons. First, views and vibes. The winery itself is beautiful. The architectural design of... the interior is a show stopper not to mention the views of Yakima Valley and Mt. Adams. It couldn't get better visually (oh, andthey have a fire!!!). Secondly, wines and food. The wines are wonderful. They are all so easy to drink, my fav is their PinotGris. You can purchase a bottle (which the prices are reasonable as well, from $16-$28) to enjoy in the tasting room or out backwhile looking towards Mt. Adams. Tastings are $10, but are waved with a bottle purchase! The food options are great as well. Ilove that they offer small bites so that I can pick and choose several options instead of having to commit to one big one (from$4-$15). My favorite is a simple herb and bread dish they offer that is only $5. Overall, a wonderful experience! Read more
Didn?t realize Yakima had wineries. This is one of the best wineries I?ve been to here in Washington. Every wine on their... tasting list was really good. We need up buying half of the bottles on their tasting menu. I can?t believe this winery has onlybeen around for a year. I can?t wait to see the great wines that come through here. And they have a cool AirBnB here. I?ll needto see if I can do a family weekend out here soon. Read more
Beautiful spot above the valley with awesome views. Tasting room is beautiful and spacious with huge windows out to the view. ... Wines are very good and a great value. They have a few snacks on hand so you can have a cheese board and a glass (or bottle) ofwine and sit inside or out. Very nice grassy area outside with cafe lights is a great place to sit and take in the views. Ifplanning ahead they also have two AirBnB opportunities onsite as well. Highly recommend checking it out! Read more
At the grand opening today. Amazing what they've done with the redesign and decor, but also the wines. Sampled all five; Pinot... Gris, Oaked Chard, Syrah, Cab Franc and Cab Sauvignon. Loved every single one but bought a bottle of the Pinot Gris and Cab. Thesetting and views are as stunning as when it was Windy Point winery. Congrats to the owners and team. Here's to many happyyears ahead. Read more
My fiance and I stayed in room A this last weekend. HIDDEN GEM. We will be making this place our annual tradition each year.... This place was fantastic. The only negative thing I could say is the heater/fan the bedroom wasn't working, however the placestayed warm. We love, love and loved the hot tub. This room is extremely homey and welcoming. LOVED this place. For the cellarsportion. I absolutely loved the food except the herbed olive oil that comes with bread, the olive oil was good but the bread wasso so so hard, I couldn't even chew it. For the wine: I wasn't a big fan of it. The Moscato was okay but not as sweet as Iwould have liked. My fiance loved the Barbara. Will definitely be back. Read more
