They have a small production of wine and currently sell only directly from their winery. The tasting fee was $10, waived with the purchase of one bottle. Their pricing is very reasonable.

There is a large patio space and a small indoor space.

I am genuinely embarrassed that I brought my team here…read more I made a reservation. They knew ahead of time that I was bringing my team for a meeting. We showed up, ordered wine and pizzas, and planned to enjoy the winery while we met. Within about five minutes of arriving, I was approached twice about parking because they had "customers coming." Except... we WERE customers. There was also a reservation for a group of 18 that day. That group arrived on bicycles, which were not parked in the parking lot. And throughout our approximately three-hour visit, multiple tables remained empty. Our photographer had already spent probably 15 minutes talking with staff before we arrived and was waved in and directed where to go. Nobody told him that he needed to park somewhere else. Then suddenly, once the rest of us arrived, moving vehicles became incredibly urgent. That pretty much set the tone for the entire experience. Then there was the wine. Five fruit flies poured out of one of our bottles of wine into the glass. We brought it to their attention. The response was, "Would you like a new glass?" A new glass. My husband did raise concerns about the way we were being treated. When other customers arrived, I specifically quieted that conversation because I did not want our experience to interfere with theirs. So I was particularly surprised when management later accused my husband of yelling at a staff member in front of guests. That absolutely did not happen, and I was there. We stayed approximately three hours and spent money, although by that point I honestly ordered food partly because I felt obligated to. I already wanted to leave. I was embarrassed that I had chosen this place for my team because I did not feel like we were wanted there. And here's the part that makes the whole thing especially unfortunate from a business standpoint: eight people in our group are business owners. Four own multiple businesses and were specifically exploring this winery as somewhere they might return to in the future. Not because we deserved special treatment. We didn't. But we absolutely expected to be treated like customers. Unfortunately, the response from management afterward made the experience worse. I was told that what we had wasn't a "reservation," it was a "three-hour meeting." Yes. It was a meeting. They knew it was a meeting when I made the reservation. If meetings aren't welcome, say that when someone tells you they're bringing a group for a meeting. If there's a time limit, say that. If there are specific parking requirements, say that. None of those things were communicated to me beforehand. I love supporting local businesses. I especially love introducing other people to local businesses I enjoy. Unfortunately, I won't be introducing anyone else to this one, because I won't be back.

Was passing through Yakima and wanted to grab a growler of beer. After some simple Google search,…read more found Hop Capitol Brewing that had 4 good sour beers that kindled my interest. Now, I'm unclear whether Hop Capitol is the new brewery where previously Yakima Craft Brewing was or if a new name or they are both the same. Sampled their sours and was immediately captivated by their guava sour. Guava, a tropical fruit has a mellow sweet and fragrant taste, balances the sour very well. Took back a growler of that and enjoyed it the next day in the historic 100F weather in Seattle. Great brewery and recommended!

It's a relatively plain looking building from the outside, but inside is quite impressive! Upon entering, you'll be struck by how much space there is in here. Whether you're meeting with a group of 2 or 30, there's lots of room to spread out. Tons of stuff to do - darts, ping pong, Foosball, cornhole, arcade games, beer, did I mention beer! Tons of options including their stuff, tons of other local options, ciders and a few pops for those who like to hang out, but don't love them hops. They have a few food options - we just opted for pretzels and they were pretzelly as expected! The folks working here are super chill and the beer is priced like you'd expect it. If you love $7 Pabst, this isn't your spot. If you love beer culture and creativity going into your brew, this is a place you need to check out!

They have easy access to a variety of quality ingredients to work their craft and it shows! I really didn't expect to find such an active beer and food scene in eastern Washington scene but I was really impressed. The Berchman's Brewing company is a good representative. The small tap room is rustic and warm. You are greeted here by family and the passion for the beer is clear. You can take your time here, talk, and taste the excellent products. I am personally a fan of stouts and dark beers and so I had their excellent "Dark Pony" a dark chocolate coffee stout. Meanwhile my partner had a four beer taster. Double IPA, pale ale, pilsner fan should all be happy here, The taproom is decorated with simple chalk drawing done with humour. Nice service, nice beer, nice ambiance, a sure bet to have a nice time in downtown Yakima. A reason to stop or even to make the town a destination.

I tried a number of reds but just could not choose one I particularly wanted to bring home in a bottle. They did have an "oakey" Chard which folks like me were excited about since oakey chards have gone out of favor/fashion.. It just tastes smooth and natural to me.. while the ones that are made without oak seem stark and cold.. like steel! ;) She went on to explain that to her it tasted like chewing on a toothpick when sipping oakey chards!
