    a glass of wine on a table
    Takako S.

    Beautiful outside (covered) patio in the back, located in a center of Walla Walla downtown on the main Street. You can spot the dragonfly logo easily, so you won't miss it. We decided to stop by after three wineries and before dinner to hang out, and I could not do full tasting... but if you are full body red lovers, their cab is big and Malbec is also good. Touch sweet profile for me but juicy and plummy. Yelp has a free tasting coupon, so check this place when you are in town.

    Very nice wine tasting boutique in the heart of this beautiful town. Good wine, customer service, and clean modern establishment. Two bottles purchase needed for a free tasting. Highly recommended!

    First time here and fully enjoyed ourselves. The building is fantastic! Love the brick and the industrial feel of the place. The atmosphere is great, laid back and cool. Xandria was our tasting host. She was so lovely and knowledgeable. Their swag is AH-mazing!! We will be back with friends in the future!

    Can't beat a free tasting and our server was very knowledgeable about the area and the wines. Purchased a bottle to take home too

    Fun vibe, great wine and excellent service! Swings are a nice touch. Jump on one if you can!

    Nice tasting area with lots of space and freiednly staff. Not necessarily my favorite wines from the area, but we picked up a bottle of their Malbec, which was fairly interesting. Conveniently located to the restaurants and shops on Main Street.

    Man, I really wanted to like Kontos Cellars because the owner was incredibly friendly and personable, and it was the only winery that had a free wine tasting if you checked in on Yelp! Such great positives, so the stars are really for that. Plus, their space is really nice, especially their outdoor patio that's dog-friendly and seemed to be where most people gathered. But unfortunately, the wine just fell short for us. Kontos Cellars offers seven wines for their tasting, which is more than other wineries. The first two tastings were white wines, including one called Fysalides, which is known for their small bubbles. Unfortunately, the Fysalides was wayyy too sweet. When I took a sip of it I was very surprised by how sweet it was since it was so unexpected. Much was the case for the second white wine, Gossamer. Both of the white wines were a blend, made with chardonnay, thus, the sweet factor. The reds were A-OK. The tasting got better further into the menu, as the flavors were getting more bold. The best one by far was the last wine, the Malbec, which many people were getting bottles of. Again, love how friendly the owner was and it was cool to learn about their family background and business. But for my preference of full-bodied, savory wines, Kontos Cellars doesn't seem to be my cuppa tea...or wine in this instance.

    Tucked away off Rose in The Jones Building, you will find a comfortable red brick studio offering up really great wines from the Walla Walla Ava. Daughter in the 7th generation of farmers and wine makers is working today. The Fysalides sparkling wine really got us rocking from the start. Bright honey color with huge green apple. You'll enjoy all their wines and the cheerful staff.

    Mary and I had never heard of this winery, so we stopped in to sample some wines. They have a very upscale tasting room in downtown Walla Walla, with nice outdoor patio. We tasted a variety of good wines. Andy who was serving was outstanding, very knowledgeable on wine, personable, and helpful; this kind of employee sets any kind of business apart from the competition; he should get a big raise!

    By far this place had the best wine, best environment and overall best experience. It was a true wine tasting, and winemaker Cameron shared bits of their family history and wine journey with each pour. Ample time between pours gave ustime to enjoy our company and decide our days agenda. The Malbec and Syrah were our hands-down favorites, and of course we bought bottles to-go. Glad we got to enjoy time with both sets of neighbors in the swanky upstairs loft, celebrating all three of our anniversaries this weekend. The loft provided very comfortable couches, extra chairs and swings mounted from the ceiling. We will definitely be back and look forward to tasting there wines again, and new releases.

    Kontos did an excellent job of accommodating my family for a wine tasting when we were visiting the area! The interior of their tasting room is a great atmosphere with trendy decorations and a casual vibe. The upstairs loft is the perfect spot to hang out, plus the swinging chairs up there make for a great photo op. They had an delicious selection of various wines on their tastings menu, so you get to try a little of everything. We had Andy as our server and he was fantastic - super knowledgeable about the wines and very attentive. I would definitely recommend Kontos to try for those in the area looking for a fun experience!

    This places delivers. The wine is delicious and the friendly staff and fun atmosphere is an added bonus. Our waiter Andrew was super knowledgeable about the wine and very personable. There are swings and really comfortable couches upstairs. So far this is my favorite of Walla Walla! Only con is the lighting doesn't allow for the most instagramable pictures

    It is unfortunate they don't have the Malbec anymore but the flight of wines we got was really nice.

    Recommended by another vinter…read more Gene was our server and very friendly. He was amazing and very knowledge. Beautiful grounds and building. Tastings of a flight of 3 for $25 and waived with a 2 bottle purchase. The wines were Grenache 2024, Syrah Les Collins Vineyard 2022 and Resound 2022. We were able to try some other wines and bought 4. Definitely a place to come back to.

    4 star rating is the combined score for my husband and I, taking into consideration the view,…read moretasting room/property, service, wine quality, and overall impression. We are wine drinkers of 30 years, beginning in Italy and Oregon, and have been coming to Walla Walla for 20 years. View: 5 Tasting room/property: 5 - We had seats by the windows and appreciated the electric car chargers. Service: 4 - We love coming to Walla Walla because we often get to talk with the wine maker. This was definitely not the case here. However, our host Thea was very knowledgeable and engaging! Wine Quality: 3 - We had a white flight and a red flight. The varietals and descriptions sounded like they matched our taste perfectly, but with the extra pours 7 of 9 missed the mark. My husband even questioned if they used an odd detergent to wash their glasses. A vintner in town told us their wines are improving, so we might try again, except for the next category... Overall Impression: 2.5 - The owners are two men who live out of state. MINUS. The estate is managed organically and sustainably. PLUS. Honestly this is probably enough reason for us to not return because there are so many amazing locally owned wineries in WW with better wine.
