Caleb was very nice. Wines were good. But the winery building was beautiful perched on a little hill. The long winding driveway up enhanced the suspense.
My husband surprised me with the "BEST" birthday of my life! Simply amazing staff from the father and son hospitality duo to the warm and friendly tasting room staff. Big thanks to (Ned Morris and the cellar crew) some of the most amazing wine in the valley! Beautiful... thanks again to all look forward to returning next year. Sincerely Mr. & Mrs. May ( Lakewood, WA )
Great time, beautiful grounds, Vanessa was great as our fabulous pourer!! Highly recommend this place. Corn hole bean bag toss and croquet on the grounds shade and sun tables.
My mom and I took a quick overnight trip to Walla Walla for wine tasting. Neither of us had visited Basel Cellars in the past, but after hearing great things about the wine and scenery, we decided to make this our first stop. Boy am I glad we did! Being a Tuesday early afternoon in the "off season" we had the entire place to ourselves for over an hour. Kaleb made our tasting quite enjoyable. He functioned as a photographer, educator and a tour guide of the GORGEOUS home that can be rented out by vacationers. We were able to purchase cheese and crackers and take our time enjoying the lovely wines. The view is spectacular. This winery is a MUST-VISIT when touring the Walla Walla area.
Please Please come come; and they did. 200+ The entire weekend of lovely estate, grounds and hospitality was outstanding. Josh and his staff made the bridge/groom's event seemless and exciting for everyone in attendance. The devil is in the details, and Basel Cellars didn't miss a thing. For any type of experience, just a day of wine, a corporate event, or the most important date so far...your wedding....don't miss this "castle" on the hill!
This was the greatest wine tasting/tour/lunch I have ever experienced. We met with Ned, the wine maker who gave us a fantastic tour of mansion/cellar-So amazing. This was the most perfect day ever! Woody put on a great lunch for us. What a special day with delicious wines!!!!!!! I cant wait to come back someday. Thank you!!!!
By far the most beautiful location for a winery I've seen. High up on a hill overlooking the Blue Mtns. in the distance with the vineyards close in, the winery looks like a mansion. The tasting selections are very nice and diverse. The tasting fee is waived if you buy a bottle. Although the area is known more for its red wine, I enjoyed the 2901 white and bought a bottle. Linger a little bit with your tastings and enjoy the spectacular view in good weather in the outside seating area.
What a winery! a 13 million dollar private home converted to a winery..producing some of the best wines in the region!. great tasting room and cost. we purchased a considerabl;e amount of thier wines, just unbeliveable! don't miss this one!
We have never visited Basel before as our fiend is a very accomplished wine maker and told us that they were having wine making issues . However he told us the wines were improving and we should try them . He wipes right , the wines are getting better, athe winery and grounds are lovely and the service staff is nice .Hope they continue to make progress !
This was such a relaxing place to visit. They have nice seating outside overlooking the vineyard. Great wine tasting. It is definitely a place you should check out.
