Venue Features

The scene

Fragrant lavender and rambling grape vines welcome you and your guests. After winding along an orchard road you'll be greeted by Gilbert Cellars Winery, which gazes out upon the Ahtanum Ridgeline and the Yakima Valley. Once the rolling hills of a cattle ranch, this property has been planted with apple trees since it was purchased by the Gilbert family in the 1920s.

Design

Our World War II era Quonset Hut with double barn doors pays homage to the past while the backdrop of our winery facility blends the worlds of old and new in perfect harmony with the natural setting of the Hackett Ranch. Recently converted into an event space, the original wood beams and corrugated metal siding add a rich dimension to any event.

Standout venue features

Home to a summer concert series, the Amphitheatre stage is the perfect setting for your nuptials OR host a concert of your own. It's a great way to give your guests a unique experience.

Extra perks

Tables and white chairs for up to 150 guests, 4 handcrafted wood table tops rest on top of rustic barrels for the bar, dinner buffet and dessert, and assorted wine barrels used for cocktail tables.
