Cheers..to Local Wine



As I sit and ponder about what would be fun for all groups of people…I stumbled upon a local winery. I think that this would be a great place for a trip with parents on parents weekend, friends or just a nice get-away to try something new and affordable!


The Barrister Winery located in Spokane, Washington offers a local and unique experience to all guests. This small winery was founded in a garage by Greg Lipsker and Michael White, who states they began making wine as a hobby and quickly their hobby got out of hand.


Today, the winery is in a 100-year-old brick building located in the historic Davenport Arts District. There are a variety of events that are held at this beautiful location, such as tastings, tours, weddings, parties and even business meetings!


If you are looking for a fun afternoon to have a glass of wine and to visit a local winery Barrister Winery is the place to go! There is only a fee of $5.00, but the fee is credited to purchase a bottle of wine too. The tours are also unique because the founders Greg or Michael give the tour, give you taste samples are from the barrel and each tour is tailored to fit the guest’s needs and wants.


This particular winery specializes of limited quantities of Bordeaux varietal wines and Syrah. All wines are sold at the winery, through a mailing list and online. It also offers visitors a time to get away and just relax. For an affordable price of $5.00 you too can get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and have a glass of local, homemade wine.


**Fun Fact from their Website: “Like most wineries in Washington State, we do not own vineyards. We contract with a number different vineyards to purchase grapes. We use acreage contracts so from year to year our grapes come from the same vines in the same rows in the same vineyards.”
