VENUE FEATURES
Full-Service Bistro
Putting their first mark on Crescent Bar will be Beaumont Cellars’ chef partner Richard Kitos. With a rich background in Central Washington and experience leading the popular Crushpad Dinner Series at Beaumont’s Quincy homestead, Kitos will be bringing a new menu of tapas-style bites to the range of wines and craft beverages being offered.
The highlight of Beaumont’s offering will be fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. Their team will be creatively crafting a variety of enticing, seasonal bites sure to pair wonderfully with the sights and sounds of this one-of-a-kind Columbia River setting.
More information on hours and employment will become available soon!
Expansive Wine + Craft Beverage Menu
The signature to any tasting room are an assortment of captivating handcrafted wines. No doubt, Beaumont has had this part covered for a better part of three decades. Guests will be able to sample and purchase the complete collection of Beaumont Cellars wine.
For those in the mood for something different, the Tasting Room and Bistro will proudly feature an assortment of carefully selected beer, cider and non-alcoholic beverages crafted right here in Central Washington. With so many amazing producers in our backyard, we hope this range pleases all palates and hits the spot after an adventurous day in the sun.
Live Entertainment
For years, Beaumont Cellars has welcomed guests across Central Washington to their homestead and tasting room in Quincy for a variety of events. Their Crushpad Concert and Dinner series is a favorite among Crescent Bar loyalists.
To accommodate the growing appeal, Beaumont and Crescent Ridge worked together to design a brand new amphitheater and expansive terraced lawn seating just outside the Tasting Room and Bistro.
We recently announced the artist lineup for our 2024 summer concert series, “Sips and Sounds”.
Private Events Facilities
Our setting overlooks the revered Columbia River and rests against 500 feet of dramatic basalt cliffs. This backdrop inspired us to create a brand new events space to accommodate groups of all sizes for private celebrations of all kinds. Guests will have access to open air spaces set within the vineyard as well as a covered events pavilion that offers the ultimate flexibility for all types of events.
Event hosts will benefit from the catering of Beaumont Cellars Tasting Room and Bistro, ensuring great food and drinks complement the incredible setting for your guests.
Information about hosting a private event in 2024 will be available soon!
Working Vineyard
The new Tasting Room + Bistro is the gateway into The Vineyard neighborhood at Crescent Ridge. Pete Beaumont and our landscape design team collaborated to plant rows of grapes capable of producing wine from our distinct setting beside the river. Managed by Beaumont Cellars, we look forward to watching how the unique attributes of our microclimate influence the fruit over the next few years when the vines mature.
Varietals planted on site are:
Cabernet Sauvignon
Merlot
Syrah
A BIT ABOUT BEAUMONT CELLARS
a feature by Wine Press Northwest
From orchards to wine grapes — Farming seems to have always been in Pete’s blood, first as a teenager in California, and then later in the orchards of Eastern Washington, where he moved to in 1988 and later met his future wife, Katie, who originally hails from Royal City.
“My Dad had the idea that he would put me to work out in the field and (then) I’d be glad to go back to school in the fall,” Pete recalls. “But I went out in the field and loved it. I said, ‘This is for me.’”
“I started looking at (grapes) as just another crop to make us a little more diversified,” says Pete. “Years of farming apples gets a little routine, so I decided to spice things up with something new.”
And what about winemaking? “Well, I guess I had winemaking in the back of my mind, too,” Pete says with a grin…
