Seven Hills Winery

Of the places we visited today seven hills stood out as our favorite. This was partly due to the wine but mostly due to the hospitality provided by Tim in the tasting room. We felt like we had our own personal sommelier. Tim was the most knowledgeable person we talked with of any of the places we visited and was able to give us all the tips and tricks throughout the valley. The wine was delicious as well. Having stopped and three different places we found we like the wine at seven hills the best, better than canvasback and spring valley. Overall we were very happy we decided to stop here and our trip would not have been the same had we missed it. We definitely will be visiting again next time we are in the valley.

Friendly service and a beautiful building. Was not a fan of their bold Sauvignon Blanc but the rosé was a hit. All the reds were delicious with amazing aromas. The Malbec was a hit for us. While we enjoyed our time here it was a bit slow going and left something to be desired. Our server tried hard to educate us on the location of where each grape was grown in the area. $30 a tasting was a bit steep with very tiny pours. Overall a nice place but not somewhere we would be running back to while there are hundreds of others to try.

Great winery to check out in Walla Walla!

Wine flight : we loved it! There were 3 reds and 1 rose and all were very unique

Service : frank was great! Super knowledgeable about the wine and local area and even gave us great local recommendations to check out. He definitely made sure we had a great experience!

Reservation needed? Nope, we did not need one when we walked in on a Friday afternoon. But frank did let us know that Friday morning was packed so better to make one of you are found at a peak time!

Delightful historic building and tasting room. Loved learning about the busk song history as well as the winery and winemakers. Lovely wines and well versed staff made for a pleasant experience. Was particularly fond of the petit Verdot

A perfect choice to visit to learn (and purchase) quality wines. The old warehouse has been remodeled and converted into an upscale and comfortable place. Not your everyday tasting room.....think comfortable tables & chairs. Similar to sitting in a friends home relaxing. If you are lucky, Jacque Son will be working. She is very knowledgeable of the grapes grown by Seven Hills. I highly recommend the PENTAD & 2018 MERLOT.

Really nice old-warehousy tasting room. My group did our tasting in a private room off to the side where the Walla Walla Wine Alliance was supposedly founded! (There's a commemorative plaque there)

The wines from Seven Hills are distinctive in their refinement. They lack the funky smell of neighbouring wineries from the same Rocks region. The Syrah is especially soft and velvety.

We had two guides taking us through their tour of tastes and talked to us a lot about the process, the geography, and the history of the Seven Hills (not to mention giving us FOMO for not being part of the Wine Club). It made for a splendid Sunday morning.

Seven Hills was one of our first stops on a Girls' Weekend celebrating a birthday. The birthday girl had this as one of her chosen stops and the tasting room/building itself was amazing! Very spacious and I could see having a private special event in such a large and bright space (historic mill building!)

When I booked our tasting, the website said to allow ~45 minutes. We had 55 minutes as our next tasting was booked an hour later. This was the trickiest part of our whole weekend, but in almost all of our stops these reservations did give us an almost private experience.

When we arrived I was upfront with our server that we had another reservation an hour later. She seemed a mix of put-off and surprised, but said she could try to do a "power tasting." I couldn't figure out why we would need something like that (not to mention trying to avoid "power tasting" as that wasn't the point of our trip). Regardless we weren't turned away but later on I did suggest that the website be updated and told her that it said to allow ~ 45 minutes when we booked so I was just being courteous letting her know our next appointment.

I was curious about the rose of which there was a sale on magnums! However, our wine was placed on the table a couple times without any explanation including for the rose. Our hostess was back to our table quickly but off again and I had to flag her down to ask her more about the rose. After that, she did tell us more about some of the latter wines. We tried to get our friend a glass of white wines as she really doesn't drink reds. While that was not possible she did end up graciously giving our friend more of the white wine we had tasted, which was appreciated.

I ended up buying a couple bottles as there were some wines I wanted to explore more, but probably would have bought more had I enjoyed our experience more. I spent most of the 50 minutes of our stay feeling like our party of 3 was misjudged and as a result not valued. Our goal was to learn about Seven Hills wines, not have a quick tasting with little info. Seeing others' reviews I feel like our experience was an anomaly and maybe our hostess was not having a good day. For the record, we stayed about 50 minutes and it was leisurely not rushed so the 45 minutes stated on the website would definitely allow time for tasting and purchasing if desired.

There are so many wines to try in Walla Walla, but this one stands out for my husband & myself. Jackie is a lovely host, and goes above and beyond to help you get what you want as well! If you are doing wine tasting in Walla Walla, don't miss this one!

What a gem! The newly decorated interior is warm and inviting. The wines are definitely on the upper end of the price point scale but they are absolutely delicious. Tim is very knowledgeable accommodating and just outright fun. We had a great time and would love to go back.

Across two years of visits now, Seven Hills remains my favorite tasting room in Walla Walla proper. They have a beautiful space in what appears to be reclaimed warehouse. This year, we were the first group to taste on a Saturday morning. Between the snow, the pandemic, and the early hour, we had the place to ourselves. The somm spent a lot of time with us, knew her stuff, and was full of good energy. One of the hidden delights was a side-by-side she had us do of carmenere vs. cab franc to understand the differences in those two varietals.

But ultimately, any tasting room stands on the quality of its wine, and that is where Seven Hills delivers best. Last year, I was so blown away that I joined the wine club. I later quit because of how expensive it was, but this year again, the wines blew me away and I would have gladly bought all of them. As it was, I've reduced my budget and the only one I bought was the off-menu carmenere we tasted, but that was not for lack of quality. These guys make lovely, subtle, delicious wines. It's everything you love in eastern WA reds but delivered with a gentle kiss instead of overwhelming power.
