  So my wife and I were in town to visit family in Zillah and found out there were wineries here. We've been to Temecula and Santa Barbara and have done wine tasting there and I have to say that this was, by far, our best experience wine tasting. The owner was there doing the tasting which were all paired with a bite of food (10 wines to taste!). He was extremely knowledgeable and very down to earth.
  
  All the wines were amazing. We walked away with 5 of the wines. Again, great wine in Washington. I would say better than most of the California wines we've tried and we've tried a lot.

  Amazing winery. The owner was incredibly hospitable. He pairs his wines (10!) with different food bites and gives you a fantastic experience. 20% of the proceeds from his tasting fee goes to the Yakima Humane Society and you get to hang out with his rescue dogs (and chickens, and turkey!) if you do your tasting outside. The wines themselves were spectacular and we ended up buying 6 different bottles. Highly recommended

  Stopping at Paradisos del Sol was the highlight of our first trip to Eastern Washington.
  
  The winery is very clearly a small, family run business. If you're into the million-dollar castles, give it a chance despite appearances and get in to taste the wines. If you are more like me and care about values and results, you'll notice the many craft projects going on (lambs, veggies, pond, oven). When you go, make sure to book the tour. I thought I had some idea of winegrowing, but I've learned so much in the two hours we spent with Paul - there's a special kind of satisfaction in learning new things that aren't just a linear extension of what you knew but really open up room for new lines of questioning. The wines are throughout superb - low on oak and heavy on the expression of the fruit. We ended up buying our favorite ones from the tasting and took a chance on the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon, which turned out to be a great decision.

  Very welcoming and informative winery! Loved that they had a small morsel of a food pairing for each wine, which went with their wine tasting philosophy, 'sip sip bite sip'. We were traveling with our kids, who loved exploring the property and showering the winery dogs with attention while we enjoyed our tasting inside.

  Very unique, you must go here. We had a great time with Paul, he is full of knowledge. The wine is amazing! Make this a last place. You will not have to go anywhere else! He makes wine affordable! Our favorite in wine country!!!

  This place is amazing! The couple who own the place is super nice and personable. I really appreciate that they paired a tasting of food with each wine.

  What a find! We did the Sunday morning winery tour (call ahead to reserve), which took about 2 hours and ended in the tasting room. Paul, the owner, took 4 of us in his car around his winery and others in the area, explained the local geology, why this place is good for various grapes, and guided us through vineyards where we learned the best ways to grow different grapes and how to sample them right off the vines. The four of us were fascinated, all our many questions were answered, and then we got to sample wines back in the tasting room, as others have said, paired with small bites to complement the 8 (? I lose track - this was before noon on a Sunday, after all) we tried. We bought a few bottles of the Oyster blend and love it whenever we cook fish. We'll be stopping by on our next trip to the area to get more.
  
  If you're in Zillah on a Sunday morning, I would highly recommend the full tour.

  If you have kids in tow, this is the winery for you! The wine is great, the owners & staff friendly and the grounds fun and eclectic. For the kids there is a tire swing, veggie garden, animals (including a friendly doggie), a koi pond (they can feed the fish), a few toys indoors, an owl cam and more.

  We've been going to Paradisos del Sol Winery for years and years. We go as much for the friendship with Paul and Barbara as we do for the great wines that they produce year after year. We went up to see them today, our 37th wedding anniversary, to say hello and get our summer's worth of wine for our RV travels. Don't have a clue what a previous reviewer was talking about with the "aggressive dog" comment! We were greeted buy the most gentle and friendly blond lab ("Sid"? I think) as we opened our car door. Spent a few hours of tasting wines, making our purchases, learning about wine making, Checked out their barn owl nest box and "owl cam". Our favorite wines from them are the Paradisos Red, Rose Paradisos, Oyster White, and Riesling. This is a very lay-back place with great wines and good people. We tell all our friends about it.
