prosser vintner s village

Interesting concept. Twelve small wineries are clustered together and are walking distance between each property. Four or five of the those wineries share winemaking equipment at the Winemaker's Loft. Each winery has a separate small tasting room facing the courtyard. If you are hungry for lunch or an early dinner. Make sure you stop in at Wine O'clock which is a Bistro preparing delicious appetizers and entrees accompanied with expertly vinified varietal wines from the Bunnell Family Cellars

This is a different experience than going to individual wineries and visiting their tasting rooms, but it is very convenient and each of the wineries represented is quite unique. It's really nice for visitors, especially if you are staying at the Best Western because you don't have to drive at all. We enjoyed talking to the various servers, they were all quite knowledgeable and very friendly. The wines we sampled were good quality and a flight was quite reasonably priced. Of course the fee was waived if you made a purchase. Bunnell's is the only one with a restaurant (Wine O'Clock) which is wonderful for dinner. It's also lovely to walk through the Rose Garden after a nice afternoon of tasting.Recommended.

Right off the Interstate in Prosser. RV park and hotels right down the road. Some very good wineries have tasting rooms here so you can sample a number of nice wines without traveling all over the place. I often take out of town visitors here. Have lunch at Wine O'clock in the Vintner Village. Yum!

As much as we love bumbling through the Yakima Valley visiting wonderful wineries, it's also great to get out of the car and walk to a number of tasting rooms located in the same area. There are terrific and unique places, where you can pop in and taste, each with it's own architecture and ambience. You will experience wonderfully diverse wines, all within walking distance. There are places to picnic, restaurants, and in the summer, music in the evenings outdoors. It's not too "Disney"-just remember that not all wineries may have the real estate, staffing, or desire to maintain a tasting room in their own vineyard. Not to be missed.

Seven buildings housing tastings from 12 different winemakers. You could easily spend a fun afternoon wandering the paths that link the buildings.

Prosser's Vintner's Village was an unexpected find. Many wineries are clustered within walking distance plus there is ample space for an outdoor lunch. Pack a picnic and purchase a glass of wine or take advantage of the small plates offered by Milbrandt or Wine O'clock. Especially interesting were the tasting rooms located in the Winemaker's Loft (Martinez & Martinez, Apex, and Coyote Canyon.

This is a fun place to be able to visit several winery tasting rooms at one stop. It''s a very nice place decorated in a south-western theme.

Some great wineries have clustered their tasting rooms in a cute walkable "village". It makes for an enjoyable afternoon without long drives, although you necessarily lose some of the ambience and "experience" you might be seeking with a wine tour. There are many of those experiences to be had, however so this might serve as a break in between long drives. There is a nice restaurant in the middle, family run, with great food. (It's called Wine O'Clock - I know, but don't judge by the name.). Reservations are recommended as it's on the smallish side and takes their last bookings at 8!

The new owners of The Barn sent us over for some wine tasting and we had an absolutely wonderful time. We are looking forward to our next visit when we can taste more as we did not make it to all of the wineries.

It was bright and sunny cold winter day-last day of 2012. Nice drive from Richland toward Yakima and you will come across well positioned wine tasting "strip mall" to warm you upEasy to find, friendly people, good wine available for purchase.

Vintner's Village is an area that includes about a dozen wine tasting rooms all within walking distance of one another, making it easy to get around.

Wander around the wineries and eateries for a taste of Washington Wine Country. There's no place I know that has so many fine wine producers and a gourmet restaurant in such a concentrated area.

Many of good wines in this "village" but everything looks a bit fake and artificial: Yes, wine is a business (and a good one) but if you have a bit more time and want to see what the region really has to offer go to Red Mountain (no Bernard Griffin) and Rattlesnake Hills. If you have no time this is the place to go, you can taste 100 different wines within walking distance, but that's not the way it should be.

Although not completely filled up this is a perfect place for wine lovers. Easy access to many wineries, very good restaurant (unfortunately not open too long in the evening) and all in walking distance if you stay at the Best Western, which makes tasting easier.

They have some amazing wines around this little Village! It is all within walking distance. Some of the wineries also have cute "stuff" that they sell, or food/snack items. There are also some areas where you are able to sit outside and enjoy a glass of wine with a small plate.
