Vintner's Village where Coyote Canyon (and Martinez & Martinez) wineries are located.
Melissa K.

I visited Coyote Canyon on a Tuesday in June 2024 so I got the advantage of the tasting room being a little quieter. A very nice lady started helping me and then the winemaker just happened to walk in, Justin, and he started personally walking me through the wines. Justin was so hospitable with giving me background on all the wines and the winery, and he also diverted from the set tasting menu to sample me on wines he thought I'd like based on our conversation. And then I got the treat of meeting the owner Mike Andrews when he walked in! The tasting room is conveniently located in the Vintner's Village, so you can simply park and then walk to a half dozen other wineries. Unfortunately on a Tuesday several were closed but I still had a great time (also visited Miltbrand and Airfield Estates). I ended up purchasing 3 bottles, their concrete fermented Albariño is fantastic! Highly recommend if you're in Prosser!

I've traveled through all of the west coasts wine counties and have never found that I don't care for a single wine until now. I did a mixed tasting and not a fan. The building, patio and presentations were wonderful.

Had a great time at the winery as well as enjoyed the wines enough to buy a case to bring home. Thank you to Jo, who served us, for making it a great experience. You were fun, but also very knowledgeable. When in the area again, we'd definitely go back. Also appreciated we were able to bring our well behaved doggie with us.

CALLING ALL CORK DORKS - worth the stop to this ultra premium boutique winery. they have Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc from Horse Heaven Hills If you're lucky you might catch the winemaker and able to talk shop and view cutting edge winemaking toys. This tasting room is small with fun merchandise. They have a map with wine varietals complete with clone information for the curious.

Really good wine, nice area, good service. We came here twice, we had a flight and a glass the first time and two glasses the next time. Didn't try a single thing we didn't like. Solid wine without pretentious prices. Loved the merlot.

Friendly staff, cute outdoors and a few spots for sitting inside. Overall good experience. We were slightly disappointed in some of the wines but I also think we might have been wined out. Overall I'd give this place a try as the locals give it thumbs up.

We stopped by because I was curious about the mixed reviews. We weren't staying at the hotel so I…read morehoped we'd have a positive experience. We arrived near the end of the day so we had the whole space to ourselves. This was great because we have a toddler and I love being able to explore the space and snap photos without worrying about disturbing other customers. The host was super new to town and the job. Trying to order took a long time because she'd walk away to a far away space (kitchen?) to check on each question. "Can we still order food?" Walks away. "Does the charcuterie plate have any goat or sheep cheese?" Walks away. "I'd like the x tasting and the charcuterie platter." Walks away to put in the charcuterie order (instead of pouring the first wine). I wish she could have texted someone or used a computer/tablet to communicate with the kitchen... or had an experienced person there to provide guidance/training. Eventually we got the snacks and wine. They were each... okay. The wine tasting was a bit awkward because she was reading the descriptions (for the first time??) and seemed surprised by some of the flavors/notes mentioned. I can see us visiting again if we're for some reason in town for an event and the event happens to be here, but I'd rather explore other wineries if it's just us or a group of friends exploring Prosser wine tastings.

WARNING: I, like many people, thought that the Desert Wind Inn would be an all inclusive event…read more Wine tasting and dinner in the evening, sitting around the fire in the backyard drinking a glass of merlot. Experience a wine tasting in the quiet serenity of the wine country. This is the experience that is advertised on the website and we paid handsomely for it. This dreamy experience is just that: a dreamy image of what this could be which could not be further from the truth. Instead, we were met with rude indifferent service, a room that we could not easily leave past 5 PM (or 7 PM if you're lucky to be here Friday-Saturday), a loud uncomfortable room, and poor quality wine. DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL IF YOU WANT A WINE COUNTRY EXPERIENCE; ONLY STAY HERE IF YOU ACTIVELY SEEK OUT DISAPPOINTMENT. What was supposed to be an incredible afternoon and evening in the wine country turned out to be a disappointment. The expectations created by the property in its advertisement plummeted the second we set foot on the property. The warm welcoming mentioned in previous recent reviews was no where to be seen when we arrived at the property on May 29, 2025 at around 12:30 PM. A cold and rather indifferent hostess meets us, no greeting, no welcoming remarks but a cold "what do you need". The hostess only expressed distain that we were checking in, giving us an annoyed glare while informing us that check-in was not allowed until 3 PM despite the hotel being seemingly empty. In the same annoyance and disdain, she told us that all information we needed should be in an email (that never arrived) and the turned her back to us and walked away. We did not expect an early check in, we just wanted to make sure that all of the information is there and whether there was more to do about it prior to us getting our room. The attitude was entirely discouraging and unwarranted and it continued to do so over the course of the next couple of hours while we waited for 3 PM. It was only when we said that the email did not arrive she begrudgingly gave us the information on a card with a random code without any explanation roughly 30 minutes after we arrived. In hindsight, that meant the room was ready, but she did not bother to tell us that fact nor inform us what the code represented. While we waited, we sat down for a glass of wine. The hostess continued to treat us like we were unwelcome guests being incredibly rude and lacked curtesy at every turn. No smiles, no small talk about the place, no indication on what to expect from our stay based on what was advertised on the website regarding the tasting and other opportunities of the sort. No wine recommendations were given nor what to expect from our choices nor any indication that she would be happy to help at all with our questions. She just coldly informed us that there are no truffle fries or soup. We proceeded to "guess" what wines would be to our liking based on previous experiences. We tried four different wines by the glass and truthfully, the wine was rather mediocre which fueled the unexpectedly unwelcoming and unpleasant experience. Bad wine and bad attitude just don't mix well together for a great experience. This was topped up by a very slow service (45 minutes with nobody else in the restaurant) for a Caesar salad and warm bread with butter. Once 3 PM rolled around, we were not shown or told where to go, instead we were left to figure it out which was difficult as the place is big. We finally found our way to our room where we were met with the startling insight that the rest of the property closes at 5PM (or 7 PM Friday- Saturday) no dinner service, no bar service, no access to the back patio. All nicely taped to the door. This made it sound like we were practically only allowed to be in our room after 5 PM (or 7 PM Friday-Saturday) with no control of the thermostat and a massive highway outside, polluting the room with unpleasant smells of gasoline and constant car noise. This "curfew" made us feel hostages in our own room. After 5 PM and before 11 AM, all you have available for "leisure" is the hallway with all the rooms and the side door. No staff around, nothing. Just a hallway and a side door. The all-inclusive feel is cut short by the lack of a breakfast option or any other hospitality services. In order to get dinner, miles down the road (goodbye wine tasting experience elsewhere - the place is not walkable, so one must drive there), we had to exit through a back door, down a metal staircase, that leads you behind the dumpsters and makes you feel like a criminal. Overall this experience was not at all what was advertised by the property. This was an extremely expensive room with worse service than a comfort inn. I felt like I was living an episode of Gordon Ramsey's Hotel Hell. I cannot recommend at all that anyone spends this kind of money for this experience. 1/10 would actively avoid this and everyone should.
