8 Best Wine Bars in Bellevue

“My girlfriend and I went to Brown Family Vineyards for the first time recently (even though lived nearby for a bit), and we’re so glad we finally made it in.

On our first visit, we were helped by Josh. It was a slower afternoon, so we got to chat and really enjoy the experience. He was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and made everything feel relaxed and fun. We tried a wide variety of wines and even sampled some of their whiskeys…and we loved them so much that we bought several bottles to take home as well as a fun vanilla whiskey. If I’m being honest they didn’t last long haha

We enjoyed the experience so much that we signed up for the wine club (and didn’t regret it the next day 😉)

A couple of weeks later, we came back and were helped by primarily Brandon. Someone named Evie (sp?) was also there and I believe.. Seth? Who was off the clock but also brought amazing energy. Everyone was so genuinely nice and just honest and thoughtful about the wines and happy to share a bit about the vineyard’s background and philosophy around generosity and hospitality which I also loved learning about.

Overall, this has quickly become one of our favorite spots. Great wine, fun whiskey, and genuinely kind people who make you want to come back.

TL;DR: Bought multiple bottles (they disappeared fast), joined the wine club, fell in love with a special vanilla whiskey, and had nothing but great experiences with the staff. Highly recommend!“

“Valentina, the owner, is an absolute gem of a person. We came in looking for a place to sit, chat, and sip wine while we waited out the terrible traffic. Very knowledgeable about her product, she didn't hesitate to help me pair a wine with the food I ordered. As it was a quite evening I could also hear her talking with customers at the bar about the various wines she has. Valentina curates a warm, inviting atmosphere in her wine bar. She took the time to chat with us and inquire about the crafts we had with us. We will absolutely be back again!!“

“Excellent Asian fusion cuisine. Exceptional service.“

“Mercato is one of the best pizza spots in the Bellevue/Seattle area. The pizza is incredibly soft and light, and it doesn’t feel heavy at all — likely due to the high-hydration dough, which makes it easier to digest.

We tried the margherita and mushroom pizzas, and both were really enjoyable. Overall, it made for a great date-night experience. The restaurant itself is very small, probably around 10 tables, which gives it a cozy and intimate vibe.

Reservations are definitely recommended, so be sure to book ahead before you go.“

“Excellent food and service. A hidden gem“
