Fortuity Cellars

 

Hours:

We are so excited to welcome you out to our winery for wine tasting. Our Yakima Valley Winery is open April through November and by appointment in the Winter. We're family owned and operated. We live on the property and we work on the property. We are proud of what we have built and can't wait to share it with you. We're located in the Yakima Valley where we enjoy blue skies, golden hills, 300 days of sunshine, and award winning wine in the heart of Washington wine country.

 

Sample a curated selection of our handcrafted wines, including our signature varietals and limited-production releases. We are family-owned and operated, and as such owners & winemakers Lee and Emily Fergestrom will (likely) lead your through the tasting experience. We will guide you through each tasting, helping you learn about Washington’s world class wine growing region, the premier vineyards we source from, and the style and intention behind our wines. Given we are a boutique, family-owned winery, we do have limited seating (reservations are encouraged, see below). Limiting seattling allows us to provide a higher level of service and share the full story of our wine. Please allow a minimum of 75 minutes for a guided tasting. Therefore, the last seating for tastings will be 45 minutes before close.

 

We can't wait to see you! - Lee & Emily Fergestrom, Fortuity Owners & Winemakers

 

For those wishing to go at your own pace, we invite you to have a seat on our covered patio, crush pad or lawn. We'll have a selection of wines by the glass or wine flights. You'll experience the Yakima Valley at its fullest, surrounded by orchards, the Rattlesnake Hills and mountain views. Though we strive to keep the space warm with heaters and cool with umbrellas, please be mindful of the weather.

 

Yes, kids and dogs are welcome to visit. We do ask parents to keep close supervision on their children and pets as we are a working winery. Given the structured nature of the indoor reserved tasting, production setting and seated arrangements, you may find it more conducive to sit outside on our covered winery patio or lawn.

 

We have a variety of wine-friendly table snacks and other beverages for purchase. Outside food is welcome on our covered patio, crush pad and lawn seating areas. We encourage you to pick up a pizza from Hoptown Pizzeria or street tacos from La Placita. Outside alcoholic beverages are prohibited.

 

We welcome any size group for private tastings, outside of our normal business hours and as schedules allow. Please email Emily for more information. Prepayment is required and may be applied toward purchases. We are happy to refund prepayment if cancellation is made at least 24 hours before your appointment. Please arrange your tastings with Emily.

 

We would love to have your celebration at our location. Please see our rental page for more info. There is a minimum wine purchase with every private venue rental. Club members recieve 25% off the rental fee and 20% off wine purchases. Please contact us for nonprofit pricing.

 

Plan your day! Reservations are not required, but are highly encouraged! A reservation guarantees we will have a table waiting for you and your party. Please allow at least 75 minutes for the guided wine tasting. Your prompt arrival is appreciated and guests running more than 15 minutes behind may be asked to reschedule or join us on the winery patio or lawn for a glass of wine! Our last tasting of the day starts at 4:15pm.

 

 

 

Please note that large parties must have a reservation if they would like to do a guided tasting. We do not allow organized events (like birthday parties, bridal showers, surprise engagements) without a reservation and paid advanced event fee. More info on renting Fortuity here. We may require a pre-paid deposit to secure your reservation; this deposit will be applied to the tasting room check. We are happy to refund prepayment if cancellations are at least 48 hours before your appointment.

NO BUSES or LIMOS without a reservation.

 

Tastings are $15 per person, and may be applied toward your wine purchase of two bottles or more per person. Guided tastings are included in club membership; number of tastings included based on club level. Club members also receive 20% off wine bottles and glass pours, as well as many other great benefits. Please visit our club page for more info and to join.

 

If you are planning to visit multiple wineries, we highly encourage you to bring a cooler or other insulated box to protect your wines. Wine does not like extreme temperatures (hot or cold). No one wants a bottle to blow its cork (and contents). That would make you sad!
