My partner and I came here for a wine tasting on a dreary afternoon and it was just what we needed. All of the wine tastings were delicious! I especially loved their Pinot Gris, Cab Sauv, and Library Selection! The vibe was very warm and homey, which I felt matched the small-town vibe. The person serving us was lovely and very knowledgeable! I don't think we paid for the tasting, just for the bottle we left with, which I thought was very generous since the wine was so good and worth the price. Overall great experience and would recommend it to anyone visiting!

We enjoyed the selection of wines they offered, both red and white. But our favorite was definitely the Cab. It was a nice way to end our day, sitting on their patio and drinking wine.

Great local winery tasting room with a nice outdoor seating area. The tasting was completely free, but we ended up buying a bottle. The service was fantastic and they give you plenty of time and space to enjoy the wine at your own pace. Their outdoor seating area is dog friendly and party shaded.

Great wines with a complimentary flight to draw you in. The outdoor seating is great but strangely full of aggravating gnats. Definitely recommend though!

Saw this winery and decided to stop - so glad we did. Overall the wines are good, and at a decent price. Great outdoor patio. We received a generous tasting flight that we could sample at our own pace. Staff was courteous and helpful. What's not to love?

Awesome fun winery! Great hosts and delicious wines. If you’re in Winthrop you owe yourself a trip to Lost River Winery. Don’t go home without a bottle- we especially love the Community Red.

The red wines are killer. Others in the tasting room seemed to love the whites also. A very pleasant space with friendly & knowledgeable staff! It's a nice bonus that there is no tasting fee. (They must rightfully figure you'll want to buy bottles....we sure did!) It was a nice stroll from town to here, and you can include a stop at the cidery next door too!

Favorite winery in all Washington. Grapes sourced from the best parts of the Columbia and Walla Walla AVA and expertly turned into consistently prime quality vino. LRW specializes in French blends with Nebbiolo and Barbera as well. We have found the wine and tasting room to be worth driving to its out of tre way location.

If ai lived in this area I would go every day. We couldn't stay long and we were served quickly by a superb gal. The prices are super reasonable and I love that it's laid back and down to earth. Will definitely revisit! My favorite red blend is the Massif. Sorry if I misspelled it! I hope our local PCC carries it!

This place is awesome. Right outside of Wintrop. It sits next to a great cider place also. They have a great Cab Sav to die for. There winery has a little patio over looking the woods. Super cute. Will definitely go back when we hit Wintrop again!!

We visited the tasting room on a Friday afternoon. The wine was good but the young lady serving us was unfriendly, seemed bored and didn't talk to us or offer any information about the wine. It felt like we were imposing! For that reason, we left and purchased wine elsewhere.

The service was great & the wine was good! Our server was very informative & also helpful in regards to recommendations as to where to go in Winthrop. It was a nice stop during our time adventuring. There's also a nice patio for warmer weather. Check it out!

The reason I am giving them a two this time is not because of the wine but because of the service.
We stopped in to have two tastings and would have purchased wine, if it was not for the service of the young lady who was at the counter today. she was so incredibly rude to us. We tried to make small talk with her but apparently she thought we were not worthy. She was entertaining another couple and therefore could not give us the time of day. We finally left. as we were leaving she served new people coming in the door red wine as a starter. And said I don't know why I am serving you red wine

We LOVE Lost River Winery!! We especially love their Western Red blend - Cab Franc and Merlot work together to create an excellent Bordeaux style blend. The staff at Lost River is very friendly and exceptional customer service.

Came here with a girlfriend because we had some time to burn before we met up with some other friends. We did the tasting $6 for 2 whites and 3 reds. Most of them were good. If you bought a bottle of wine the $6 could go towards it which is nice. Got the white blend. The service was good, it was busy but they did kind of forget about us but we were busy talking anyways. It's a great location off to the side of Pike place market.

Based on the manager's response I would rate them a 1.5 if that was an option, but I'm feeling generous today and will keep it at a 2. One thing I can't stand is managers that give excuses instead of apologizing.

1) The "Barbera" wine was released two days prior to when my family and I visited this location. The worker told us... So not really a valid excuse for the lack of customer service...

2) Even if the guy who originally ignored us was not apart of the staff, there still were two others working who could have realized new customers walked in, and greeted them

Nice big tasting room downtown. $6 tasting fee for 5 wines. Cheaper for most tastings rooms in WA, which is great. Worth trying out, felt I got my money's worth

I have been here twice, and I look forward to the third time I get to go here. Lost River Winery is an oasis in the tempest of tourists at Pike Market!

Wine- I thoroughly enjoyed each of the wines I tasted at each of my visits. They really understand how to make a wine that is distinct and flavorful but is still accessible if you aren't a sommelier. I thoroughly enjoyed their 2013 Pino Gris; after a few sips, I knew I must have a bottle...or two...or three....

Service- Excellent! The staff does a great job educating you about their wine, but doesn't bore you. They also give generous

Yum yum $6 for a taste of 5 wines (2 white, 3 reds). If you buy something, they wave the tasting fee!

Staff is fun and easy to talk to and know their stuff. The best part is that they are dog friendly on the inside, so you can take a stop and get out of the sun and try some wines!

We like Lost River wines enough that we have become members of their wine club and often serve them to guests, including today. Their new 2012 Chardonnay is light and crisp and paired well with our chicken and wild rice salad this afternoon.
The Seattle tasting room is one of our regular stops when we're downtown Seattle. The space is lovely and convenient and the staff very friendly.

My fiance and I went here as part of a Savor Seattle tour.

Good location near the Pike Place Market and a nice stop to relax and escape the crowds for a short while.

The service was good, but we only found the wine selection and flavor to be okay.
