SIlver Lake Winery

This was the most ultimate wine tasting place … We went at closing and realized the place had just closed … As we were admiring the property on foot, Vinnie opened the door and said «come on in «! We were poured a glass of wine and inspired to have a seat overlooking the vineyards … Vinnie then gave us the experience of trying grapes Fresh off the vine… And the juice that was just pressed… Merlot, Cabernet, and Riesling. The experience was serene, peaceful and memorable… this is a must do for all that want to see and experience a Washington Vineyard. Oh … The wine was outstanding as well !

This place is awesome! From the grounds, to the view, the staff, and of course, the wine! Vinny was so informative, friendly, and fun to talk to. The private tour was wonderful! Meredith came out to take some pics for us, then gave us a bag to pick some grapes on our way out. Can’t wait to return!

Always such a beautiful scenic view. With beautifully groomed grounds. With Chardonnay in hand I love to walk and relax while the family runs wild!

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous … but the wine? Not my favorite, though a few whites were pretty good. (You might ask the proprietor if anything’s on sale. There were a number of wines selling for half price last weekend.)
Note that if you go in August, they host salmon dinners on Sundays, which, for location alone, are probably memorable.

It was disappointing going back to this winery. There wines are good, but not great. The setting is gorgeous, but I cant get over that their wines have been surpassed by so many others in the region. They need to step it back up again.

Great place!!! Love the wines.

We came here since it was a part of our Passport that we got and we had a free tasting. There were 3 of us sharing 2 tastings and they pours were REALLY small. Hardly more than a drink.
For the tasting itself that they offered, you could taste 5 wines for $ 5 which is not a bad price, but they only offered max 7, one the were out of so they had 6 wines to choose from. I was not impressed with any of the wine. So we just tasted and left, it was free after all. The grounds are really nice and they have a nice view but other than that I would pass on this one next time.

My sister got married here about five years ago. It’s a beautiful setting and pretty delicious wine. I think the ceremony had to be kept pretty small, but it seemed pretty perfect for the crowd. There was also a good amount of room to get dressed up for it.

Of all the wineries we visited in Yakima, this one definitely had the best scenery… That counts for something when you are coming east of the Cascades for some R&R on the weekend. I can see exactly where the weddings must take place. There is a large glass clearing overlooking a good chunk of Yakima Valley. The winery itself sits on a small rise from some of the other wineries nearby. Come on a quieter day so that you can snag a seat somewhere and soak in the view.
Inside, we were treated to the Spring Barrel Tasting lineup. The bar is spacious and set against the lagre barrels in the back of the building. The wines were not particularly impressive overall. The first white was particularly mediocre and didn’t set high expectations for the whole group. If I was judging solely on wines and comparing to my collective wine experience: somewhere between a 2 and a 3. The amazing landscape and the friendly service provides the extra 1.5 stars here. I’ll be back for the view. The wine? Maybe

We recently visited during the Red Wine & Chocolate weekend. The reserve wines they were offering were good, but pricey. They paired each with a treat (including a chocolate dipped jalapeño chip!). We had visited Silver Lake a few years ago and tried some of their other wines, which were more affordable. We didn’t buy anything this time around.
The location is great — up on the hill and just beautiful views.

Wow, there are some seriously mixed reviews from this place. I feel very lucky indeed to be giving it five stars.
This was the last vineyard we hit, which should have made it a blur of tipsy boredom, but their wines and service really stood out. The attendant was so engaged and involved, and we were lucky enough to have him all to ourselves. He explained everything about everything, and we left feeling like we really understood the wines we had purchased. Over the next few months, as we drank those wines, we felt that they were were delicious and reasonable.
Yes, the tasting room is large and fancy, and you will feel like you are in a corporate space, rather than in one of the in-someone’s-living-room tasting rooms that Yakima has to offer, but you will still feel a sense of involvement and excitement.
Highly recommeded.

Beautiful View and Excellent Service! Some friends and I went Wine tasting here in February. We didn’t really now what to expect while wine tasting or anything about wine for that matter. The staff was great. Very Friendly and knowledgeable. They helped us with everything from smelling the wine to sipping and taking in all the flavors. ! They also told us about all the wineries in the area along with restaurants and the events they do through out the year. We signed up for there news Letter.
The wines were good. I personally liked the wines better. I loved the Girly Girl 2010 Pinot Gris and the bottles, they were so cute! Silver lakes 2010 Roza Riesling was also delicious as well as there Vin dolce Port 2006. As a group we all left with at lest a bottle, some with more. If you are in the Rattlesnake hills area this winery is a Must!
Cheers !!!

Man this place just sucks. It shouldnt but it does. We went there during an event and paid 13 each to have a plate of cold grisly hard pork (supposed to be pulled pork), store bought potato salad, some other salad with disgusting amounts of mayo and I forget the rest. It even was styrofoam plates and plastic foks. if you wanted wine which was also not good, that was another 5 or so. It was just disgusting overall and man just gross. I still feel nasty when I think about the food. It was hard to see 26 bucks go in the garbage because it was that bad. There are a lot better places to go.

We just spent a day checking out wineries around Zillah and found this gem. We had a Tuesday so many of the wineries were closed. But Silver Lake at Rosa was delightful. They have some really nice white wines (love the Riesling) and their patio over looks the vineyard and valley. It has a real Italian feel to it. Bring a picnic or just buy by the glass and sip outside in the sunshine. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the scenic beauty.

We came in and stood around for about 5 minutes before someone even acknowledged us. When we were acknowledged, we didn’t get a smile, or a «thanks for coming in» or anything. I paid for the Reserve tasting which was $ 10. Honestly, that was the only reason I bought a bottle, was to get my 10 bucks back. They weren’t that great. Lots of merchandise everywhere, which is off-​putting to me. The grounds were beautiful, that was definitely the highlight. I thought maybe the girl helping us was having a bad day but she was having a good enough time talking to the girl next to us who apparently used to work there. OMG, you changed your haircolor!!! Whatever.

I had very high hopes for this place. My friends love their wine so we decided to go.
We went there around 1pm on a Sunday in mid-​October. As we walked in the person behind the counter was talking to a friend and looked at us like, thanks for interrupting us what do you want. Then she proceeded to speed us through the tasting, not really interested in pouring wine or even being there.
We did leave with a couple of bottles but probably won’t be going back.
Beautiful winery, good wine, too many fruit flies. Crappy service.

Gorgeous property, we had a very knowledgeable pourer, and the wines are affordable enough that you could buy every bottle you taste and not be broke.

Very nice grounds, tremendous views, posh new buildings… all gloss up a rather bland set of wines.
Would be tremendous if it was your eighth vineyard and you didn’t care too much at that point about the flavors !!!

I had a great experience at this winery. They have a pre-​paid salmon dinner with AMAZING views of Eastern Washington Wine Country.
Very friendly staff, and the food + wine while not spectacular are certainly classed up by the surroundings.
It was a very nice way to cap off a bike winery tour through the Columbia Valley.
