Amavi provides a relaxed south-side tasting experience with a strong view of the Blue Mountains and surrounding vineyards. The modern tasting room feels less formal than some reserve-focused estates, and the deck/outdoor space is a major attraction when weather cooperates.
The standard flight includes four current wines plus a featured fifth pour that may preview a club wine or older release. Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are central, along with Merlot and other Walla Walla reds. The approachable $20 fee makes Amavi a useful stop for visitors who want quality estate wine without committing to an expensive multi-hour experience.
Reserved picnic tables add flexibility. Guests who want to bring lunch can use the lawn area under the winery's rules, while food for purchase is also available. That makes Amavi particularly practical as a midday stop on a south-side route.
