Came highly recommended, but didn't live up to it.Wish we were given more than the wine menu, the folks that had food and cheese plates looked happy. We would have ordered something, but felt ignored. Wine was ok. Better luck next time!

Stopped by this quaint tasting room in downtown Yakima last week. What a great surprise! The wines were very good and the staff friendly. I was particularly taken with some of the reds and a bottle of their 2012 mourvedre went home in the suitcase. The Bordeaux style Left Bank was also incredibly drinkable and will fit most budgets. The tasting fee was five dollars which was applied to the purchase.

pleasant in-town tasting of some very intersting wines...the ambiance was of a nice quiet wine bar...relaxing and different from a vineyard experience. the evening availability was key for our selection here.we sampled only red wines and purchased a lovely manchego and membrillo (?) plate to accompany the wine.a minimal tasting fee was applied to the wine we purchased.the staff was friendly and knowledgeable.

Not only does Gilbert Cellars have excellent wine, the tasting room is relaxed, comfortable and fun! The person presenting the wines was most knowledgeable and helpful. There is no cost for tasting if a purchase is made. Excellent red and white wines!

A group of friends and I went to the tasting room on the main street in Yakima at the recommendation of some locals. We are so glad we did! The wine was fabulous, the food was excellent and the was service great! They offered to give us a special wine tasting with their sommelier, who was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. We are so glad we went for all these reasons and will return again whenever we are in Yakima.

A lovely downtown Yakima location. We walked 2 blocks from our hotel in 105 degree weather. The staff very kindly provided us with water and then we tasted. Wines were nice, was very fond of their chardonnay. The staff was very efficient and knowledgeable about the wine and the local area. We also ordered a cold plate with veggies and cheese and it was lovely with the wine. Would definitely visit again!

Gilbert Cellars is a great place to get a bit to eat while sipping on some terrific wine flights. The bacon wrapped dates are super yummy and you cannot beat three 4 to 6 oz pours for $7. The wait staff is attentive and the food is delicious. I try to go every time I am in Yakima!

The wines were good but not outstanding in my humble opinion. Also, there were no crackers or anything to cleanse the old taste buds. In addition, they did not rinse out the glasses or provide new ones when moving from one category to another. Not a bad experience by any means, just nothing to write home about.

A large group of us visited this place. They had a large table to accommodate all of us and were pleasant in serving us. They had a 5 taste sampler for $5.00, which most of us did. They even had Creme Soda. Yummy!!! A good afternoon and a comfortable setting. If you purchase wine, they waive the tasting fee.

It was held downstairs, and one of our party had bad knees and had to remain upstairs. Wines were very good.

This winery was small, but had a nice selection of wines. Brodie served us and he was very professional and informative.

Not the typical tasting room, more of a wine bar experience. Fun shops and restaurants nearby by the old rail station and depot.

Knowledgeable oenophiles present a tasting menu along with a glass of water and snacks to prepare you for a great hour of trying a half dozen or more excellent local wines. Tasting is complimentary if you buy a bottle or two. Gilbert presents some really good reds and a white or two produced in local vineyards. Staff take the time to give you the lowdown on each wine before you taste, and this adds to the overall experience.

This place doesn't offer the charm of the vineyard tasting rooms outside town, however it's nice, the wine is good and they have a nice menu of noshes to go with your wine.

Located conveniently in downtown Yakima. Very hospitable. Wines weren't outstanding.
