Absolutely peaceful, stunning area for an event, a romantic date, or just a stroll on a hazy, Covid era afternoon as we did. They have food to snack on, wine and beer. No children allowed and ID required.

Went to Arbor Crest Wine Cellars for dinner. They have solid wines but the food there is downright awesome. They just opened their restaurant for about 2 months. So if you are not happy with something, tell them directly. They would try to rectify it. The icing on top of the cake are the absolutely incredible views from visa parts of the estate.Their staff was super friendly and attentive enough.Pro Tip: Make a reservation on their website with a note asking for a table on the grass.

For those who want to eat out, but are carefully social distancing, this is the place to go! Good food, excellent service, and a wonderful relaxing setting with trees, gardens, historic structures, and lovely panoramic views! Highly recommended! Most dining is outdoors at tables scattered over the lawns and patios. They also prepare picnic baskets certain days of the week. Prices are very reasonable, and you can buy wine produced by Arbor Crest to go with your meal. You have to make a reservation online or by phone -- I dont think they take walk-ins. Children arent allowed, though, because of the areas sheer cliffs.

Went to a wedding at the Arbor Crest Wine Cellar. Absolutely a great place to have a wedding. Its also a great place to have a reception. The wedding party was roughly 250 people which seems like the perfect amount of people for the venue. Great places to take videos and wedding pictures. Theres a three story house the wedding party used to get ready in which looks out over the valley. Great place to put on a wedding

The property is incredible and the views are amazing. They have tables spread out so you can have some privacy while enjoying wine. They have a few beers too which is a plus.

Truly an incredible experience! Brandon took us on the best tour to teach us about the history of the estate, and he was fantastic!! He made the entire experience so enjoyable for our small group. The wine, the view, the service was all top notch! Can’t wait to return again.

We had a fantastic experience at the winery for dinner last weekend! The setting was stunning. The food was awesome (totally enjoyed the trout!). The wine was fantastic (Malbec was my favorite). Our service was off the charts. Mariah was engaging, accommodating and represented the winery and products so well! We need to make visits to Arbor Crest regularly! I

Lived in Spokane 5 years and I deeply regret not discovering this place sooner. Very friendly & knowledgeable staff with stunning views of Spokane that can’t be matched. Plenty of seating available and not overcrowded like some wineries can be! I will definitely be back.

Beautiful place to sip a glass of wine. Up on a hill over looking Spokane. Grounds are well kept with trees, flowers and spacious lawns.

This place is just gorgeous. It’s magical! The service was great. Plenty of room to spread out, enjoy the views and tour the property. I gave it a 4 because I didn’t particularly love the wines. Flight was $12. Although they were friendly and good, they just weren’t “great”. I would go back for the scenery.

The grounds and views are gorgeous, and the wine and staff superb. My husband and I have been members for many years and never tire of the live concerts, or simply going by for a wine tasting.

Sadly, we started off on the wrong foot in the tasting room. We arrived at 4:15p on Friday and the lady helping us led with we are closing at 20 min til 5 so youll have to hurry. I asked why they were closing early and she said because we have lives too. Huh? I said we came in from Arizona and were excited to taste. She said she hears stuff like that all the time. She was clearly done serving, talking, helping anyone. One girl overheard the conversation, stepped in and was very nice. We had plenty of time to taste a few wines and even drink a glass - we didnt need to be rushed out. We walked the beautiful grounds and saw they were set up for a big event. They might have have led with that bit of information instead of making us feel unwelcome as soon as we walked in.

Came here as a surprise for my 30th birthday today and I couldnt have been more impressed. The place is absolutely beautiful and so peaceful up there. Did the wine tasting tour and learned so much about Arbor Crest, the history behind it is amazing and makes you wish you knew even more about it. The young lady (for the life of me I cant remember her name) who did our tour was such a wonderful person and made the day amazing. I definitely plan to come back for many of the events held here and definitely a couples picnic with my husband.I very highly recommend you come by and see for yourself, you wont be disappointed.

My girlfriend and I went here for her workplace’s event. We thought the place was okay.Pro: one of the most outstanding views of Spokane, the Valley, and Idaho. Nice and relaxing, as well.Con: lack of food choices, didn’t have a backup food truck, even when the website says there were going to be food trucks.Good advice I can give for people: you can bring food and drinks in, as long as there is no alcohol in your coolers and they don’t have any food trucks. You’ll be thankful that you do. Learned a valuable lesson now.

We had a great evening enjoying food, music and drinks. Bring some chairs and lots of people had their own cooler with food and non-alcoholic drinks. They do search you belonging to prevent bring in your own alcohol. There was also a food truck and they sold other snacks. Plenty of parking. A fantastic break for wine, food, music, and a great view of the Spokane Valley and Spokane River. Perfect place to recharge on the weekend or take a visitor. Great summer evening!

We come here to taste wine, celebrate birthdays, have picnics, listen to concerts, dance, simply hang out with friends admiring gorgeous views. What not to like? Just know you cant bring your own wine with you, but you definitely need a blanket, folding chairs and snaks. Not all music is always great, but the atmosphere is, so come and relax. Even in the frigid snow the venue is beautiful and charming. Nice selection of wines and great sampling offerings Reasonably prices. Nice and quiet for a nice family visit.

Normally one of my fav places. Today they closed early for a private event. I am super frustrated and dont understand why the tasting room and grounds cant stay open. It is a very large venue.

Review №35

Arbor Crest has a great view of the Spokane Valley. Its truly breathtaking! Its even more fun to visit when a concert or other event is happening.That said, their wine is only good at best. There are a number of micro-wineries in the area that have better wine. None of the wines they make are on my top list - and Im a wine drinker.This is not a family place. Because its a winery, its 21 and over on the grounds.

If you have a child- you are not welcome here. The place is 21+ only, and they won’t even let you enter the territory. I have never ever seen a winery where parents with young children are not allowed. What a shame.

Review №52

We are from the central coast of California ( Pinot Noir country ) and recently returned from a self guided wine tour in Washington. We hit about 10 wineries and enjoyed them all. But there was one wine that was exceptional, Arbor Crest Merlot. We NEVER drink Merlot. Its boring and is best used for blending, and we knew that BEFORE the movie Sideways . This example of Merlot is outstanding, so good we had a case sent home. WELL DONE!

Review №55

We checked their website, event listings, and Facebook page for open hours prior to going, which said they were open until 7 PM. We drove half an hour to get here, only to be accosted by an extremely rude wedding guest telling us that they are closed for a private party. It was only 4:30 at that point. Were terribly disappointed by the poor communication and the boorish man who practically tackled us at the door. Ive never felt more unwelcome at an establishment in my life.

Picture Perfect Wedding!We used Arbor Crest as our wedding venue. It was beautiful. Bridget was so easy to work with. She met with us several times to go over details. She worked wonderfully with my other vendors and made sure everything was set up just how we wanted it. She coordinated the rehearsal and wedding ceremony. Everything went so smoothly. we didnt have to worry about a thing. It was definitely the perfect choice and well worth the money.

Nestled in the hills between Pines & Argonne exits off of I90. Free parking, handicapped parking. Great service. Excellent wine choice. They also have juices & water for nondrinkers. Went to see the duo One Street Over. They are friends. Look em up online.

Great date spot. The wines are good and pair well with the summer concert series. Strolling around the grounds doesnt feel like Spokane. Gorgeous views from the walkways near the main house.

This is always my first go to place in Spokane. The view is incredible. This time I bought $45 Malbec which was a little pricey for me but well worth it. We had our own private view from the gazebo. There were many other people, but it felt like each group had their own private bit of heaven on the beautiful green, timbered and shaded grounds.

This is a great winery with beautiful views across the Spokane River. The tasting room is newish and is surrounded by beautiful gardens. Last summer, a craft fair was featured there under sunny skies. What a pleasant day. One can easily get to the winery via the Argonne exit from I-90 or find it using a gps from downtown Spokane.

Im still acquainting myself to wine, which is why I have fallen in love with ArborCrest Wine Cellars. This villa-inspired vineyard catches your eye around every corner with brick paths, grassy knolls, ivy-laden walls and arches, evergreen glades, rocky bridges, patios - one covered, two or three open - and the best view of Spokane you can find without breaking any trespassing laws, day and night.A variety of wines for every palate and budget, I certainly reccommend each of their three flights for your first time. The staff is wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable and worth the visit alone. Theyll help you find your go-to every time without feeling like an idiot just because you cant taste the difference between Parisian or Washington grapes (according to some, its the telltale volcanicity of the soil due to the ash of the St. Helens erruption. Now you can sound wine-smart if you want anyway. Youre welcome). And if youre not converted still, give the beer a try. Their new Square Wheel Brewing broadens their menu even further (the mini pizzettes are delcious, by the way), and every name comes with a fun story if you ask. Again, this staff is brilliant.The best part is, they have events all the time! Thursday night Music on the Patio and Sunday night Concerts on the Cliff in the summer, then the Fireside Series indoors for Fall and Winter. The Tasting Room is comfortably decorated and lit for easy sitting, often with chess boards atop oak barrell tables for additional entertainment (of the classic size - the person-sized board is a permanent fixture in the garden).Generally speaking, its the perfect venue whether wine is your thing or your friends with plenty to do, drink, talk about, listen to, or quietly enjoy.

Lousy wines. the view has nothing to do with the place that calls itself winery. Simply a joke. One star for arbor crest swills is a very generous rating.
