15 Best Wineries in Benton City

“Amazing owners an amazing staff. We always feel so welcome and taken care of when we visit. A must stop if you’re visiting the red mountain AVA.“

“Fidelitas has this calm, modern energy that hits you the second you walk in — clean lines, a wall of bottles, and that subtle “we take our wine seriously but you can still relax here” vibe. We had a reservation, and not only was our table ready, but they happily let us switch to the couches instead. Honestly, that made the whole night. After a long week of work and kids, sinking into a comfortable couch with my wife and a glass of wine felt perfect.

The staff here is incredibly knowledgeable — the kind of people who can explain the vineyards, the blends, and the story behind the wine without ever overwhelming you. For a nerd like me, that’s a huge win. You can tell they know their craft and they genuinely enjoy sharing it.

The wines themselves were excellent. Fidelitas leans heavily into those bold, Bordeaux-style reds, and every pour had depth and personality. If you’re a red wine person, this place is basically a playground.

Now the snacks… WOW.

If you go, order the maple pecan dates. Just trust me. They’re decadent, warm, chewy, sweet, nutty — honestly better than pecan pie. One of those bites where you stop talking mid-sentence because your brain needs a second to process how good it is. The other small bites were great too, but the dates are the star.

Overall, our experience at Fidelitas was relaxed, modern, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. Great wine, great staff, comfortable atmosphere — and those dates alone are worth the drive. Highly recommend.“

“Terrific wines, certainly worth a visit!“

“Wine steward Kevin was a real pro keeping multiple tested happy. Easy to access location and amazing Malbecs!“

“Beautiful place and friendly staff. Great wine selection and excellent pricing. 10/10 recommend Heron Bluff“

“Great experience! We really enjoyed learning about the three generations who have developed this winery into a showcase in the Red Mountain AVA. Wine cards with descriptions of each wine allowed us to set our own pace. We pre-ordered a large charcuterie for our group of eight.“

“What’s on our Thanksgiving table! So excellent.“

“My friends and I met here for lunch. We were warmly greeted and given a splash of a wonderful Rosé while we looked at the menu. We ordered the sweet corn pizza and paired it with the recommended cuvee (white).
The pizza crust was absolute perfection, and the pizza was excellent. We split the bottle of cuvee.
We had such a wonderful time on the patio which overlooks the valleys and farmlands and if course gives you a great view of Red Mountain.
We ended up staying a long time so we ordered another pizza and paired it with the Merlot. The pizza was the "figgy bleu" and it was also excellent. The wine pairing was perfect.
It was so friendly and laid back. We were sorry to leave!
Great atmosphere, setting, food, wine, and service!
Thank you for a perfect Monday!“

“We visited on our way back home, and it was a very hot day. We were the only ones there for tasting and they adjusted the music to whatever we wanted, and we enjoyed wine flights and charcuterie. The staff/management was lovely, super kind and great to get to know. Lovely experience!“

“Wonderful selection and a beautiful winery. Very nice service.“

“Your winery looks absolutely stunning and gorgeous per the pictures on Google. 😊 I bought this lovely inexpensive bottle of your CMS 2023 Sauvignon Blanc at Costco in Burlington WA. Lets just say it gave me a tad of inspiration to look up your location for future adventures. I don't look up places often so consider yourself special. 😉 Hope to visit yall in the near future, and thanks for the taste and comfort after a rough week of worky.“

“Wonderful wine in a beautiful location! I left here thinking "wow, I can't wait to come back."“

“Stopped here to do a wine tasting and wound up staying for lunch and then coming back for their monthly three course dinner later in the evening. The wine was some of the best we tasted in the Red Mountain area, and the food was just as spectacular. Katie who did our tasting was very knowledgeable and told us so much about both the wine and the region as well as how things are grown. She provided excellent wine recommendations and also let us compare and contrast some of the different wines which really made for a great tasting experience. If I lived in the area I would definitely come back often for both the food and the wine, but we had to settle with ordering some to be shipped home.“

“Our visit to Col Solare was nothing short of world class in every aspect of the word. From the time we hit the parking lot until the time we checked out we were treated like family, nothing short of VIP service. Although our tasting was advertised to be just 3 wines we were treated to just about everything on the menu. Each wine was presented to us in nice stemware and not once did we reuse a glass. Monica was officially our server but we were also spoiled by Ian and Eddie. All three were very knowledgeable of the wine we were being served as well as the wines of Eastern Washington. We enjoyed every wine we tasted but did have a couple standouts. The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon, 2015 Malbec and the 2016 Syrah were all standouts. Wines are priced at the luxury level but seem reasonable in comparison to comparable wines in Napa. Our visit to Col Solare was indeed memorable. I only wish we would have saved it for last because now all other wineries in Eastern Washington will be judged based on Col Solare. Is that fair? Don't care, I am on vacation and therefore I make the rules... For this visit I give Col Solare 5 stars. Woohoo! As good as it gets!“

“We had an incredible time at Cooper - Red Mountain! This hidden gem is membership-only, so do yourself a favor and join!

The staff was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about sharing their passion for wine. They took the time to educate us on their exceptional wines, answering all our questions and making us feel right at home.

The atmosphere was elegant yet relaxed, perfect for a wine tasting experience. But the true star of the show was the wine itself - absolutely phenomenal!

Cooper Wine's commitment to quality and craftsmanship shines through in every pour. Don't miss out on this Red Mountain treasure!
