Title: A Wine Tasting Gem with Outstanding Staff!
Rating: âââââ (5/5)
I recently had the pleasure of visiting the House of Smith's wine tasting room, and it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel right at home. They were not only welcoming but also incredibly knowledgeable about their wines.
What made this visit even more special was the staff's attention to detail. I happened to be wearing a Star Wars shirt with an X-Wing on it, and to my surprise, one of the staff members noticed and crafted me an origami X-Wing. It was a delightful and unexpected touch that showed just how attentive and friendly the staff are.
The selection of wines at House of Smith's is impressive, and their expertise in helping you find the perfect wine is top-notch. Whether you're a wine connoisseur or a novice, this place caters to all.
Overall, I can't recommend House of Smith's wine tasting room enough. It's not just about the wine; it's about the wonderful staff and the warm atmosphere that make your visit truly memorable. Don't forget to wear your Star Wars gear â you might just leave with a...

While the young woman directing our tasting was professional and attractive, she lacked warmth, and that was a bit unsettling. Laughter and a bit of frivolity should be an inherent part of wine tasting. She also tried to sell us a club membership before our tasting was done. That was kind of tacky.
My palete is rather unique, and so we went through a variety of wines before focusing on what we liked respectively. I did join the club and also bought some futures. That will be fun. It was our first wine tasting in years, and the convenience of a wine tasting room located downtown appreciated, even if it takes some of the cache away. I yearn for the 1970s and 1980s when a trip to Napa and Sonoma was so organic. There was no Disneyesque aspect to wine. You met the winemakers and tasted on their farm. How cool was that? But, everything has changed. Just look at music. There is nothing organic about a concert these days.
Charles Smith is producing some very good wines. When in Walla Walla,...
   Read moreHouse of Smith was absolutely fantastic! Two college friends and I planned a quick trip to Walla Walla for a weekend and rolled into town on Sunday afternoon. This was our second stop and we couldn't have been more thrilled with our experience. Adam was a great host and went above and beyond to share about the space, the wine, and the story, including sharing his favorite wines with us. The space was also breathtaking. We loved the cool industrial vibe and how it felt like we could chat, laugh, and tell stories without disrupting other groups. Would be a beautiful space for a birthday party, small event, or even an intimate wedding. We all easily could've walked out the door with several bottles, but we did walk away with a few absolute gems! This place will most definitely be a must-visit anytime we're in Walla...
