Dineen Vineyards

Stopped in this go around and they had wood fire pizza! Talked to Jennifer, I’m assuming the owner, and had a tasting. Very good wines and very friendly. The dog Scrappy was cute and walked around checking people out. Very cool with the pizza $ 15, I’m addicted to pizza, it was a smaller pizza but good enough for two. I’d come back again!

We were too late to see the winery but on-​time to join Chris and his family (Guerra’s Catering) for lunch and dinner. The delicious lunch was provided as part of Cherry Wood Bed & Breakfast’s horse back winery tour, making us want to see them at Dineen for a delicious dinner.

Friendly, great wine, wonderful location (beautiful), and wood-​oven pizza, too! It was Crush Weekend and this stop was the perfect way to end on a HIGH note. Look forward to returning.

Brought family visiting from New England out here one evening and had a pleasant time. Local family had suggested it as they offer fire oven, flat bread pizzas and not many tasting rooms have any food/​snacks on the menu. The wines were a delight, we purchased a bottle of the 2013 Kamiakin white. The flatbread pizzas on the other hand are only in styles/​flavors for those partial to a twist. It was Mexican gourmet flare and only a few of us enjoyed them. As for family friendly, which most all Yakima Valley wineries are as well as pet friendly, it was perfect! The kids played with an area pup and enjoyed the swing in the tree. Beautiful views of Mt Adams. Oh and the tasting room rep brought our tastes out to us on the lawn as it was not a high traffic evening which was very nice so we could roam the grounds and chat.

This winery is my absolute favorite and most highly recommended for a trip through Washington’s wine country — but shhhh, it’s quite a secret and should be kept that way! It’s secluded, removed from the closest tiny town of Zillah by a few miles — no stoplights and barely a post office around, just acres and acres of apples, hops and vineyard.
Dineen is exactly how you’d envision «small town Amercian» country charm. From the driveway is a gorgeous view of the mountain and sweeping orchards that surround the tasting room, which itself is intimate enough for not more than ten people. The set up makes for great conversation with Jenny who runs the tasting room, who alone is reason to go and come back again. The small interior opens up a welcome excuse to taste leisurely in the sun on the adjacent patio, where on weekends you might find the Guerra family cooking up wood fired pizzas from scratch in their outdoor oven.
This is in every sense of the word a boutique tasting experience — this winery produces not more than 250 cases per year, conducting most of its business selling its top quality grapes to other producers in the state. Dineen is truly a lovely, irreplicable experience, a hidden secret, and a must visit here in the valley.

Cool little spot, very new and modern tasting room. Nice view of the valley and Rainier. Wines great, in the 20 – 35 dollar range. Their budget wine label is just not that great. They say tastings are 5 bucks, but refunded if you get a bottle.

Dineen Vineyards just started off planting blocks in 2001.
They provide fruit to other wineries and have some wines of their own.
They have definitely made progress since then.
They just opened their beautiful new tasting room this past Spring, participated in Taste of Washington with wines that were made from their fruit and recognized in WINO.
Driving in, it reminded me of a mix of a smaller sized winery in Napa Valley, yet with a Washington state farming touch to it with their barn, weather vanes and lab that welcomes you when you walk in (something you wouldn’t find in Napa Valley).
The grounds are very well taken care and beautiful, looking out onto the vineyard. It was picture perfect at sunset.
Overall, it is gorgeous and welcoming.
The owners, a retired couple from the West side of the state, are pleasant, personable, informative and just great people.
I ended up buying a bottle of their wine, which was unique & flavorful.
This is definitely a place to keep your eye on while they grow. I’m looking forward to seeing more from them.
