Hands down one of the best wedding venues in Central Washington. This place is barely 10 minutes outside of Yakima but feels like it's in remote wine country (which for transport, hotels, setup, etc. how can you beat that?) We loved how unique Gilbert Cellars Winery was in comparison to other venues in the area. When you rent the venue, you have access to multiple event spaces (amphitheater, lawn, cellar patio, big rustic indoor spaces) so you can truly customize it to fit your wedding/event dreams! The vineyards, lavender fields, big wine barrels, and built-in rustic touches were gorgeous without needing much decorative effort from us. Another bonus- these people make great wine!

I wouldn't have wanted to have my wedding anywhere else. Gilbert Cellars Winery is absolutely gorgeous. My husband and I had our wedding here on July 8th, 2017. The lavender fields were in full bloom at this time, which made a great backdrop for our first look and pictures. We worked with Via Paxton at Gilbert Cellars Winery- She was extremely helpful, responsive, and worked with our schedule as much as she could. One thing I loved about Gilbert Cellars Winery is that we were able to choose from 3 different location to have our ceremony (lawn, cave/patio, amphitheater). My husband and I decided to do our ceremony on the lawn. It was perfect!! Gilbert Cellars Winery goes above and beyond :)

There is not a more beautiful place in Yakima, WA to have your wedding! So many different backrounds for photo opportunities, different options for ceremony/reception seating, and the staff is just wonderful! Their prices were affordable and we were able to change our numbers when a flood of RSVP's came in!! We are in love with Gilbert Cellars and recommend them to anyone!!
