  I have been to this winery several times now. I've met the owners multiple times and a woman who works for them. They are all genuinely wonderful people. My husband doesn't drink wine but he's very interested in how to grow grapes. The owner spent quite a bit of time talking with him about the evolution from apples & pears to grapes. On top of it their wine is absolutely delicious! It's my favorite winery in Washington for so many reasons. Can't wait until they launch a wine club. I'll be one of the first to join!

  I have not had the food here but the winery itself is awesome! I came this past December on a snowy night so the trip there was a little harrowing since it was snowing more in East Wenatchee than Wenatchee, but the owners were ridiculously warm! Being from the South I don't usually expect such warmth in Washington, but we definitely experienced it here.
  
  First, our tasting was being handled by a staff member but it was 30 minutes til closing so  she left but about 15 minutes before closing the wife of the owner came to chat with us (or maybe she's a co-owner, as well) and then the owner himself came shortly thereafter and they had wine with us and hung out with us for like an hour!  We learned all about the history of the vineyard and how they're a small operation trying to not price gouge people. We must've tried like 8 different wines (for free) and all were delicious. Definitely try the Riesling and the Malbec - I usually hate American Malbecs but they managed to do it right here. I ended up buying a bottle to patronize their craftsmanship - they packaged it up nice enough for me to give it to a friend as a gift.
  
  The property is beautiful. The tasting room looks quite posh despite being small and the view is wonderful, even on a dreary, snowy night. We found a much safer way back to Wenatchee than the windy road route we came by, thanks to them. Oh, and they said that they have a private chef come in some Thursdays in the summer for dinners using the freshest ingredients he can buy - now I'm motivated to return to give this a shot.

  Great time here with the owners. What a small world! Loved the view and the wine was fantastic.

  We were planning on a nice long hike before the DMB concert at the Gorge, but ended up at Martin-Scott and stayed for several hours.  (missing the hiking experience completely)  The owners were great and offered unlimited tasting.  We finally ordered a glass of wine,  the cheese and fruit plate and sat outside and enjoyed the view.  
  
  Great fun!

  We drove to M-S expecting a restaurant.  There is no restaurant , but they do have a special Thursday dinner.  This is a beautiful immaculate property.  You can buy a bottle of wine and sit on the patio and enjoy the view of the vineyards and orchards.  Visiting M-S winery is a romantic treat!

  This is heaven for me, we bought a bottle to consume at the winery and were then told to take it up to the private pond in the middle of the winery overlooking the Columbia river. The wine along with the surroundings were amazing.  
  
  I think that I may just need to purchase this place from them someday, but until then any time I pass through Wenatchee you can find me stopping by to enjoy this place again.
  
  Maybe nobody else who goes here uses yelp, but if they did this page would be full of good reviews.

  I'm sorry, maybe I wasn't clear in the first review. This winery is winning all the golds! This is some of the BEST wine in the world. Don't believe me? Ask the awards.
  
  The Scotts must not believe it because they keep their prices unquestionably low. $12 for the award winning Viognier.
  
  You've got to try it! And if the enchanting aromas don't completely sweep you off your feet, the high alcohol content will.
