J. Bookwalter Winery Richland Tasting Room

Amazing wine and great ambiance. Eric was knowledgeable and worked with us to find our favorite wines! Definitely a repeat spot!

Service was amazing and so was the wine however we received a gift card that listed the tasting room as one of the redeemable locations. The gift card was also purchased at this location however when it came time for the bill we were told we could not use the gift card at this location. This completely ruined the experience. There needs to be some sort of communication or sign posted that gift cards can only be used at the restaurants Fiction or Fables. Do not buy gift cards from here if you intend for them to be used for purchasing wine or wine tasting.

Food was delecious, server was very knowledgeable, and atsomphere was intimate and unique.

Treated like Royalty here. At first the wine tasting was so pleasant. The wine was good, the atmosphere was calm, but not pretentious, and the employees were all really (or at least it seemed so) to enjoy their jobs. Dinner starts at 4:00, our wine tasting ended at 3:45, so we stayed for dinner. But first appetizers. The best bacon wound dates, seriously. order them! Also ordered the shrimp/cream sauce (do not remember the name) which was also perfect. Dinner - I had the pasta of the moment. Salmon, capers, cream sauce, homemade spaghetti noodles... My wife had a salad and we added the beef beef. Lightest seasoning (such as what you get from cooking in a spiced cast iron cell), and the exact right degree rare. After dinner our waitress (McKenzie, and she was also perfect) told us about the Chai cheesecake with espresso pepper cream. Yup, order! McKenzie made a fresh and fantastic coffee to go with him .. and it has cut off the experience perfectly! The terrace is beautiful and spacious, the view is great, and the entire experience meets the brand 100%. We will definitely come back! You need to go here, you need to try it.. really one of my favorite eating experiences of the last 5 years.

We are from Ohio and were scrambling to find a place that was open on a Tuesday early afternoon, and Fred made our stay one of the most memorable of our whole weeklong vacation. Our visit included drinking in the patio, incredible food, and even more impressive drinks (also crafted by Fred). I would not make it in the area without checking this place out, plus they are renovating. Perfect afternoon!
