Perched on a knoll, the tasting room features wall-to-wall windows with a sweeping view of the Blue Mountains. The adjoining conference room provides expansion space for banquets. The lower floor is cased goods storage and also includes a full commercial kitchen for catered events.

Amavi Cellars has sweeping decks on both the east and north sides of the facility are ideal places to sit, sip, and get lost in the awe of Walla Walla wine country. They are also proud to be certified as sustainable.  The wood, steel, and glass building contrasts with the rolling hills and surrounding agriculture.
