Maryhill Winery Spokane Tasting Room & Bistro

Walking into 5,000 square feet of sunlit tasting room with sweeping views of the Spokane River, the last thing you expect to be doing is casually sipping a Winemaker's Reserve Syrah on a Tuesday afternoon — and yet here we are. The list is tight and intentional: this is a producer list, not a broad restaurant list, and that framing matters. If you came expecting a globe-trotting wine menu, recalibrate. If you came to drink well from one very focused corner of Washington State, you're in the right place.

Maryhill leans hard into its own portfolio — Columbia Valley and Columbia Gorge AVAs anchoring everything — and with 65-plus wines on offer, they've got enough range to keep things interesting across a single producer's lineup. The Proprietors Reserve tier represents their serious bottles, and the Winemaker's Reserve Syrah signals that they're not just pushing easy-drinking crowd-pleasers. The Zinfandel is a genuinely uncommon call for Washington State, and worth paying attention to as a conversation piece. The gap here, of course, is that you're not getting outside bottles — no guest producers, no regional neighbors, no chance to compare — so the list lives or dies entirely on how much you trust Maryhill's range.

Twenty by-the-glass options is a legitimately strong number, especially for a single-producer program. That breadth means you can move across styles — from the Proprietors Reserve Chardonnay down to something lighter — without committing to a bottle. We'd love to know how frequently the pour list rotates, but the depth alone earns real credit here.
