Wilridge Vineyard Winery Distillery - Yakima, Washington

One-of-a-Kind Winery Experience in Yakima 🍷⛰️

Wilridge Winery is a hidden gem and an absolute must-visit when you're in the Yakima area. The property offers endless seating options—relax inside, cozy up on the heated porch, spread out on the grassy lawn, or grab a picnic table under the shade of fruit trees. There’s a perfect spot for everyone.

One of the best parts? You’re encouraged to explore the grounds. Grab a Wilridge Vineyard Map and turn your visit into a D.I.Y. adventure. Wander vineyard paths, hike to the winery and distillery, take in scenic viewpoints, and keep an eye out for marmots—we saw two! You can even hike in from the Cowiche Canyon Trail, which makes arriving feel like you've discovered a secret oasis.

The Wine Bar and Tasting Room is excellent. They offer a full lineup of Wilridge estate wines—reds, whites, rosés, and dessert wines—as well as local mead, cider, craft beer, and their own brandies and grappas. We tried both the white flight (including a smoky 2021 vintage) and the Bordeaux flight—both were delicious. Staff was friendly, and they have light bites and soft drinks available for non-drinkers too.

We loved strolling the wraparound porch of the 1900s farmhouse, soaking in stunning views of Cowiche Canyon, Mount Adams, and the upper Yakima Valley.

Bonus: There’s a rock climbing area (routes from 5.8 to 5.12), chickens roaming the property, and it’s super dog-friendly! Friendly pups are welcome to join you as you wander the trails, hang out on the lawn, or relax with you at a picnic table.

Between the wine, the views, the outdoor adventures, and the relaxed charm—Wilridge offers a truly unique and memorable experience. Can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful laid back winery in Yakima. We sat at the backyard in the shades where the kids could play around. The setting was lovely. We had the estates mix and red wine tasting. Everything was great! It could be crowded on weekends and there may be a wait placing an order. Ample parking space. Soak in the sun and shade and enjoy the wine tasting experience!

I love this place! It is beautiful and a great breezy place to beat the heat in summer. Fantastic wines and cool people. Also a terrific venue for seeing local and touring musicians.

Have a great time coming here and it’s one of our go to places to relax and drink wine but what really makes it wonderful is Laurie. She greets us with such warmth and enthusiasm and act like she remembers us even if she doesn’t at first. The only reason we joined the wine club was because of her and how accommodating and wonderful she was to us and continues to be!! The wine over last few years seems to be getting better and better and being treated like family when we arrive just makes the experience delightful.

This place has a perfect combination of upbeat and laidback vibe. Nice music, good wine, good views, food truck, slip and soak in the views and sun!

We very much enjoyed our experience at Wilridge Vineyards. We sampled a variety of reds and had the cheese plate. The patio was heated, and offered nice views of the vineyards and surrounding hillsides. Local hiking trails surround the property.

I would not recommend ordering anything from this winery if you are planning to have it shipped. I ordered on November 17. You would think that for a $40 shipping fee, they would send it out pretty quickly. It is now December 8 and the wine still is not even remotely close to being here. They do not respond to customer service inquiries in a reasonable amount of time. When I finally got a response after multiple inquiries, I was told the wine would be shipped the week of Nov 27. 5 days later they created a label but STILL did not actually ship the wine. I emailed once again when the UPS estimated delivery date of Dec 7 had passed and the shipment had not even moved. They have yet to write me back but they must have seen the email because the wine finally moved into the actual shipping process. I should have bought the wine at the Pie bar and brought it home in my luggage. However, given the rudeness of the manager at the Pie bar, I probably should have just not even bothered buying wine from this company. Steer clear!

Our group of 8 friends and neighbors had an amazing time at Wilridge yesterday. Wonderful weather, great music entertainment, wonderful wine to go along with our picnic in semi shade. They offer a wide range of red and white wines. More than most wineries in the area. They are dog friendly also so normally we take our dog but yesterday was quite warm so we left her at home. Thanks for a great event!
