Great wine tasting venue. Within a few seconds of entering the winery we were greeted warmly, shown a spot at the tasting bar, and given a full glass of wine to try. Our hostess was quick and attentive, and gave us several free samples of whites, reds, and fruit wines. This tasting room boasts wine from 2 vineyards, traditional reds & whites from Willow Crest and 100% fruit wines from Pasek in Mt. Vernon.
We were really impressed with the fruit wines. Having never sampled a fruit wine before, I think I'm a believer! I mean, Kenny Chesney always sings about the magic of strawberry wine, but by gosh, I never knew how right he was! Our fave was the blackberry, but couples around us were also raving about the pineapple and guava flavors.
We ended up walking away with a Riesling by Willow Crest and a Blackberry by Pasek and a handy dandy 6-bottle wine tote for $22.00 total...in addition to a happy buzz to carry us through the afternoon! -

That's what the Canadian guy next to us did. He was just slamming down wine, glass after glass. It was like, "Dude, slow down. it's wine not bier!" We did enjoy several different wines, and as usual I took bullets of red wine for my girlfriend. It was extremely well priced: $10 a bottle and definitely a place we will go back to for future purchases. -

Mmm... more fermented grape juice! Yay!
I loved this place from the moment the hostess gave my lady and I both healthy pours, so as to finish the remainder of the first wine to be tasted. I liked her style, and the wine from both Willow Crest and Pasek proved just as good. Sweet wines where in high abundance after the WC tastings were done and Pasek took over. I enjoyed the different styles of fruit wines, but loved the WC reisling. Or at least I think that was the one I liked - after stopping by many wine tastings, things were a bit fuzzy at the moment!
But it was a wonderful little stop before dinner and the prices of each bottle were very reasonable. I'd most certainly stop by again!Listed in: What's Prima / Nicht Gut In…

This tasting room is located street level now.
I am not a fan of sweet wines, and I find what Pasek has to offer is too sweet. Although the cranberry wine tastes just like cranberry juice! I have purchased that in the past and we add seltzer to make it a spritzer and it is good like that.
Willow Crest has some very good wine and the prices are reasonable. For instance the Rockin L Blanc for only $10 is a steal! We bought a couple bottles of it to enjoy on a sunny day, it is very good. The Merlot is quite nice as well.....and we don't typically buy Merlot.
The gal is very friendly here and is quite knowledgeable. -

$2 tastings and we each had about 10 generous pours. Very informative and friendly staff. Wines are extremely well priced and very tasty. We tried a few whites, reds, some fruit and ports - definitely the most unique wines that we tasted today. Even had some great chocolate covered almonds from the local chocolatier on hand.

This tasting room is at the end of Front Street and there's actually two 'tables' I prefer going upstairs and tasting, the ladies are friendly, there's more wines to taste and they have cute wine centric gifts to buy. They offer a very diverse tasting from different wineries around the area, if you ever end up at this end of Front Street please make it a point to stop in and taste you made discover a new favorite wine like I did, the Willow crest 2003 Syrah and for $12 a bottle I couldn't pass it up.

Mmmmmm wine! I loved this place, the ladies working the tasting bar were great! She was more then generous with the "tasting" of the different wines. I think we ended up having at least 7 or 8 tastings and the glasses were nearly half full! Needless to say we were feeling pretty good! They had us taste the raspberry wine with chocolate! It was so damn good! Not very sweet, just right! I ended up buying 2 bottles! But at $10 a bottle who could pass it up! I also loved the "Rocking Red" a great red table wine from prosser and only $12 I had to get some of that as well! They offer a 15% discount if you buy 6 bottles and between those of us tasting she let us have the discount even if we didn't buy 6! Great place...I will definately go back for more!

This is the place you go AFTER you eat. There is two levels, downstairs has gone through a couple of wineries and the last one was a german type I think and it was ok. Upstairs is a whole different story. Upstairs is a conacopia of wines by 2 different wineries, pasek cellars and willow crest. I can't get out of this place without buying several bottles and getting extremely intoxicated. Pasek Cellars has great fruit wines and many of them(look at review of the tasting room in Mount Vernon). Willow Crest also has some solid wines at a great value. Definately venture down to the end of the strip and experience the tasting room. hint: the nicer you are the more the pours!
