Waterbrook is one of the valley's most complete casual visitor destinations. The large Highway 12 property combines a tasting room, full kitchen, lawns, ponds and outdoor recreation, so a visit can easily expand beyond a standard wine flight. It is particularly well suited to groups and travelers who want a less formal break from appointment-heavy tasting rooms.
The wine program is broad, covering Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay and other Washington varieties. Visitors can order flights, glasses or bottles, while the kitchen makes it possible to build lunch into the stop. Depending on the day and season, outdoor activities such as bocce, disc golf or simply sitting by the water add to the experience.
Waterbrook is less about an intimate collector tasting and more about making wine country comfortable and social. Families, mixed groups and visitors who need food in the middle of the day may find it especially practical.
