Absolute gem. We stopped in on a Saturday to celebrate our friend’s bachelorette party and Avery & Dan went all out. They played the piano, they helped us pick / taste wines, gave great recommendations, moved tables & chairs to accommodate our group, and took pictures & videos for us. Truly an incredible experience. Thank you both for making our trip a great one! 💕

We were lucky enough to get engaged in Leavenworth and we had the opportunity to go to this winery. They had amazing staff that made us feel welcomed and had an excellent experience. All of the customers and staff had a great environment! 100% recommend!

Oh wow, this review is long overdue! I feel awful for the delay—work has been absolutely hectic—but leaving this review has been on my mind since the moment we left Silvara. There was no way I was going to forget, because the experience we had, thanks to one incredible person, was truly unforgettable.
That person is Tamera.
From the moment we arrived, Tamera made us feel welcome in a way that felt personal, warm, and completely effortless. She wasn’t just knowledgeable and accommodating—she was delighted to provide an amazing experience for our large group, which is something special in itself. So many times, when you’re with a bigger party, service can feel rushed or impersonal, but with Tamera, it felt like we were old friends. Her energy, kindness, and enthusiasm were absolutely contagious. Conversations with her were fun, engaging, and uplifting, and honestly—I left wishing we could be friends!
Now, let’s talk about the wine.
I’ve been a wine lover since I was 19 (I’m 35 now) and have done tastings at wineries all over the state, country, and internationally. I’ve had a lot of great wine, but the selection at Silvara truly stood out. I tend to favor reds, but most of our group preferred white wines—specifically dry, non-sweet options. Tamera listened to everyone’s preferences and brought out a selection that fit the bill perfectly. Even as someone who doesn’t usually reach for white wine, I was impressed.
Then we moved on to the reds, and this is where I really fell in love. The Cabernet Sauvignon was delicious—full-bodied, rich, and beautifully balanced. But then Tamera brought out the Syrah. Oh. My. God. It was the only Syrah on their menu, and let me just say—when a winery chooses to carry only one Syrah, it has to be exceptional. And this one? Absolutely phenomenal. So smooth, so deep, so perfectly crafted. I have a serious collection of Syrahs and Cabernet Sauvignons at home, and this one earned a spot among my most treasured bottles. I ended up buying two—one to enjoy in the near future and one to age for a truly special occasion. And because the Cabernet was also outstanding, I grabbed two of those as well.
Beyond the wine itself, the experience of tasting it in such a beautiful setting, with such an amazing guide in Tamera, made it all the more special. She didn’t just pour wine—she curated an experience that was equal parts fun, relaxing, and memorable.
Tamera, if you ever read this—thank you for being such a wonderful human and for introducing me to some of the best wine I’ve had in a long time. You made our visit to Silvara absolutely perfect, and I can’t wait to come back for another tasting (and another bottle of that Syrah!).
If you’re considering visiting Silvara, stop thinking about it and go. Ask for Tamera if you can, trust her recommendations, and prepare to fall in love with the wine, the atmosphere, and the incredible service.

Avery was a stellar teacher! He made the tasting so much fun - full of music and fun facts! Plus the wine was delicious - especially the sparkling wine and the Malbec! 10/10 recommend this spot!

We had such a wonderful time at this winery! The atmosphere was very relaxed, with beautiful views. Avery was our tasting guide, and he had great recommendations and was so incredibly kind. We mentioned we were getting married soon and received such heartfelt congratulations and an extra little tasting of some Brut as a celebratory toast. Another couple there was celebrating a birthday, and Avery played the piano for them. Highly recommend this place, Avery provides such high quality service and is very attentive. Thank you, Avery! We will definitely be back next time we visit Leavenworth.

Great wine, great people, great setting!

If you’re looking for a winery you can feel like it’s your own! The service from Avery made the 6 of us feel like it was home sweet home! Thank you for the hospitality to some travelers from LA. And to top it off Avery and another musician named Leanna preformed “Old Country Road”!

My fiancé and I recently got engaged during our trip from St. Louis to Leavenworth, and we wanted to make the experience even more special by trying our first-ever wine tasting. After reading great reviews, we made a reservation for the wine tasting session at Silvara Cellars, and it exceeded our expectations! Thanks to Avery’s incredible hosting, we had an unforgettable time filled with laughter, fascinating wine knowledge, fun facts, and a unique wine-tasting scent kit. It was the perfect way to celebrate our engagement! I would highly recommend this experience, and I would personally go back again!
Booked the Igloo experience. While it was beautiful and the wines were great, it was way too expensive, and the cost didn't include food. I will come back and hang out inside the tasting room.
