JBell Cellars

Beautiful venue and wonderful experience. Good wine and chocolate pairing was amazing. Great friendly staff

Each time I go I feel the wine tasting is a personal experience because I get to talk about the wine with the winemaker. The country setting also gets more beautiful with all the improvements they have been doing. I highly recommend going while the lavender is in bloom.

Arrived a little after 6 on a Saturday in July. They had the fire pit going, delicious bottles of wine for the tasting, generous portions of BBQ, and a jazz duo performing on the patio.
We shared a bottle of the Syrah and listened to smooth jazz as the sunset over the lavender fields. It was lovely.
Though we only drove 2 hours from Seattle, it felt like we had landed in Provence. Hands down the best winery we visited during our short trip to Yakima valley! Will return, with friends!

This winery has it all. Beautiful setting, wonderfully personable people and amazing wine. We were lucky enough to be at J. Bell when there was also a food pairing with Crave Culinary Arts and the food wine pairing was SPECTACULAR! We will be going back again very soon!

What impressed me about this place is that the owner and vintner said he was entirely self taught. And the wine was good. Started as a hobby, now a business.
They have an incredibly beautiful lavender field in the making. The rose was the best of the bunch. The tasting was outdoors, a nice touch. Sweet view of both Ranier and Adams near the winery.

We really enjoyed our visit to this winery. Tasting was held in a nice outdoor space with tables and chairs, where you could sit and have the wines brought to you, or you could stand at the bar. The winemaker served us a nice mix of reds, 2 whites, and a rose. In the end, we decided to take home a bottle of fume blanc. It’s a friendly, approachable winery with good wines and a pleasant atmospherre.

Was in there last week after a recommendation from another winery in the area. Owner was very chill and welcoming. Lit us a fire in the courtyard so we could stay dry and warm during a light drizzle and enjoy a glass of their wine. Good sampling of interesting red mixes.

We visited this winery in the summer and absolutely love the wine and the winery itself. They have some great reds specifically the Syrah and Cab Frank (yes, Frank). I also really liked the Rosè as well, which was perfect on a hot summer day! The Viognier was my favorite white but you really can’t go wrong with any wine choice from this place. They are all great quality wines and a great addition to my wine collection (if I can stop myself from drinking them, that is).
Another thing I really liked about this place was the atmosphere. The couple who owns the place is super nice and the tasting room itself had a cool vibe and nice decoration. They had an inside tasting room and chairs and tables outside where you could get a glass of wine and sit outside and just relax which was really nice. I felt like we could take our time and actually enjoy the wines which was wonderful! I will definitely be back next time I am in the Yakima Valley!

This was a great find. We met the owner and his wife, who were very nice and welcoming. They had 4 reds and a Rose’ for us to try. The reds were big and heavy but very good. My favorite was the Cab Franc (they spelled it Cab Frank) which was delicious. Definitely recommend it to anyone that like reds.

We decided to trek a bit further from the tri-​cities to try some of the wine other parts of Yakima valley had to offer. One of the members of our group way intrigued by this place because of their lavender (and I think she was secretly hoping for some lavender inspired wine, haha). This place is pretty new, and the tasting room is very casual in what looks like a garage/​small warehouse. Inside we were served the 3 wines that they made this year. They just make the wine, don’t grow the grapes. And the wine was just ok, nothing that I felt like I needed to buy. However we did get to try a sneak peak as some rose they were going to release later this year and that was pretty good! This place is very welcoming and I hope their wine will improve just a little over the next couple years because the couple that owns this place were very nice and I think it could be a great boutique winery.
