“Bob was great and so were his serving staff! They accommodated a fundraiser with ease, even though it was last minute. The labels they made for the wine for the fundraiser looked great and everyone had a great time. In addition they are dog friendly!“

Nina introduced a selection of other wines, each with its own character and story. From a crisp and refreshing white that evoked sunny afternoons in the vineyard, to some bubbly that unfolded with every sip.What sets Melody Lynne apart is not just the quality of the wine but the passion and knowledge that Nina brings to the experience.

“Lobo Hills is my favorite in Woodinville! The staff is very friendly, always ready with a smile and a recommendation. Each sip is like a little escape, can be perfectly paired with delectable bites that elevate the tasting experience. Plus, they've got a lineup of events that'll keep you coming back for more. You won't be disappointed!“

“I am so happy I decided to come here, and even happier that I came hungry! The winery is beautiful, modern with lots of wood and red accents. It has a really good vibe and absolutely stunning design and art. The atmosphere is so lovely. The wines are top notch. I love their super Tuscan, and they have whites that even red drinkers would love. No wonder they were voted the top winery in Washington! I went for a tasting but ended up coming home with bottles. The manager, Joel, and the wine club manager, Annika, are absolutely amazing. They did a great job talking about the wines, but also making me feel like I was part of the Brian Carter family. Top tier service! Something I did not expect is that they have some of the best food I've had on the Eastside. Their chef belongs in a Michelin restaurant, but his food pairs so perfectly with the wines that I'm glad he ended up here! I got the fried polenta and broccolini and both were so flavorful and had the perfect texture. Definitely don't overlook their food, especially for happy hour! This is definitely one of my favorite spots in Woodinville!“

“Veteran owned, great wines, walkable from anywhere in the Hollywood Schoolhouse area... what's not to love? The wine's tend to be a little on the lighter side, so if you're tired of the big tannic fruit bomb cab sauvs, give 425 a try.“

“J Brookwalter stood out for my little wine tasting friends for a few reasons. While the ambiance is fairly basic and nothing of great note the service and the wine was delightful. I very much appreciated that we had options here. I opted for the Readers Tasting while my friends tried the Luxury Tasting. They very much enjoyed their wines trading tasting notes and discussing flavors. The staff here was very engaging. They told us the history, the grapes, the vineyard. They told us stories and asked us where we had gone. It was a very welcoming environment which I thoroughly enjoyed.“

“This place is a superb spot to buy wine in Seattle. I recently purchased a giant orange Cuvee Pet Nat bottle, which paired nicely with my Taiwanese dumplings. The person working at the shop was helpful and pleasant. I can't wait to go back.“

“One of my favorite spots past few years in the Woodinville Wine District. You won't be disappointed by the selection they have ? ☺️. The atmosphere of Category 5 is welcoming and laidback & those I bring here always seem to have a wonderful time! Jason and team are friendly, helpful, & host fun events as well. Highly recommend!“

“My friends and I met up to taste here and had a lovely time. Having tasted in their Walla Walla tasting room last spring, I was familiar with the wines and so I made a point to visit the Seattle location. Bethany and Daniel took great care of us while we were there. Bethany presented the wines with perfect pacing, confidence, and overall gracious hospitality. Plus, my friends loved the wines, as did I! I'm usually not a big fan of rosé, but I loooove SOHC 2022 The Magician's Assistant! In fact, all their wines are fantastic. I'll certainly be back!“

“We found this tasting room through the 2021 wine passport and instantly fell in love with the Spanish style varietals. Allison and Randy were great in explaining each tasting we were having. My wife and I, along with another couple we were with decides to join the wine club that day. We always enjoy coming back for an event and/or tasting.“

“Jim was a great curator of our tasting experience. A very reasonable $10 fee allowed us to taste two recent wines and three wines from his library that were great. I find that almost every other tasting room has wines exclusively from their recent vintages, and many just taste too young (whether it be too tannic or just too bright/fruit-forward). But tasting a few wines that had spent some years in the bottle gave them a level of complexity and approachability that were a cut above most other wineries. Walked away with a few nice bottles to savor at home.“

“If you want a fun and intimate wine tasting experience, come to Panther Creek Cellars! Jaqueline is the lady you need to see! I told her, I've been to a few wine tastings up here. She has made this my favorite winery to come to! She is so funny, inviting and really kind. Come to Panther! We are also coming right back up here in a few weeks before we go to a concert!“

“I went to the new tasting room at Brian, Carter and was very impressed with the whole experience. The tasting room was beautifully, and the wine and food pairings blew me away. Brian Carter does an amazing job creating delicious wines inspired by from around the world. He has been making wine since the 1970s, and draws many of his inspirations from Old World blends. The tasting room's newest chef, Nicholas Ames, has created the most delicious dishes that are beautifully plated. The Chanterelle-Oyster Mushroom Toast is delicious and pairs perfectly with the Roussanne. The Charred Broccolini might be my favorite item on the menu, with its toasted shallots and white balsamic emulsion - YUM. The 2020 Byzance was my favorite wine - it was smooth and complex, will only get better with age, and is perfect with the Red Wine Risotto, which is so flavorful and yummy - my husband loved it too. Also be sure to save room for dessert. The Opulente port is phenomenal, made even better by the chocolate mousse. I would highly recommend Brian Carter to any winos who love good food, foodies who love good wine, and anyone else looking for a great date night!“

“Been here twice now and have to say some of the friendliest and most accommodating staff you will find in the Northwest. Oh and their wines are incredible, they don’t have food so make sure you eat before or make plans to eat afterward :)“

“Just got back from wine tastings in Woodinville. I came across this winery as I am in love with reds! It did not disappoint! I tried about five reds and they were all excellent choices. The server Janine was great at what she did and I hope Terry the owner congratulated her. I will return after Xmas to try the rest.“

“I've been to just about every independent wine shop in seattle, and this is by far the best, with some strong contenders for second place. Pricing, selection, and service are off the charts, with extremely passionate people, absolutely stellar bottles from around the world, and everything ranging between "a steal" and "perfectly fair" with pricing. This is a very small thing, but I love that they print the prices on the sides of the bottles rather than on the front with those tiny stupid stickers that leave residue. Fantastic events and other goodies for sale also. Even if you're far from Bellevue, it's worth taking a couple hundred and making the drive here to stock up on gems.“

“I came here because I seen great reviews on Google and I bought a Groupon for a tasting. The wines were very good and if you go just follow the road all the way back because I got lost trying to find it on maps but if you go to the very end of the road it's there to the left. I bought several wines here and the one I'm happiest about is one I'm going to hold in my wine collection for quite a few years ?“

“We stopped in here randomly to taste some wine and WOW that ended up being a great decision! They were pouring some really delicious stuff and the person serving us we super friendly and knowledgeable. We walked out of there wine club members with 2 bottles. Success!ProsFairly priced Friendly service Good atmosphere“

“Cascade Cliffs has such delicious wine, and this space is great! They have really fun events club members, great discounts and just a great overall experience! The tasting room manager, Kristen, is very knowledgeable and really hospitable! Definitely include this in your Georgetown outing, and join the wine club! You won't be disappointed!“

“Moved a few doors down. (Don’t waste a tasting like I did at Village Wines, which was good but not what I was looking for.)Some Darby wines have a funkiness that detracts from the overall experience. But it’s a very fun group of staff and overall the wines are good. I found a couple to take home with me.“

“Wow! Wow! I am beyond impressed with this venue, the service, and care for my guests! I recently held a Christmas event at JM’s and my whole experience with Risa and her team blew me away from start to finish. Kind. Helpful. Accommodating. Treated us like we were the most important customers. Quick communication. All of my guests were so impressed by all the things. The grounds were impeccable and the inside of the venue, absolutely stunning! I definitely look forward to another event here!“

“Excellent wines. Friendly staff. If you like Barbera this is the place for you. Their Blood Red Barbera is a sure hit. Try it once and you will keep coming back for more! Great selection of wines to choose from in addition to Barbera. Their wine club membership is so worth it. Lindsey is fantastic. We always feel welcome here. Must visit!!!“

“Pretty darn good, "mellow" (IMO) reds here!! Only wish I wouldn't have disliked the first tasting on the "Bold" flight. Good hostess working when my fiancée and I went 12/2 and our bottle to take home was reasonably priced.“

“Loved the wine! The tasting room is spacious AND that is nice for larger groups. Everything besides the experience was wonderful. I would have given them 5 stars, but the gentleman presenting our pours was kind of rude with his jokes and little on the obnoxious side. He made it extremely uncomfortable.“

“As the owner of Your Perfect Bridesmaid, I recently planned a huge community event at The Winemakers Reserve. I am here to tell you, this venue is amazing. The venue is not only gorgeous, but the team there is absolutely incredible to work with. They were flexible, and accommodating and super supportive of all of our crazy ideas. And then comes the wine. I was able to enjoy a few glasses of their wine over the past few days. I am obsessed with the reds. So smooth, balanced and just delish! If you are looking for a venue for your next event look no further. These will take care of you!!“

“I've been a wine club member at Lachini Vineyards in Woodinville for some time now, and I have to say, it's always a pleasure visiting. The staff here are consistently friendly and knowledgeable, making each trip both enjoyable and fun.One of the things I appreciate most is the genuine warmth of the team. They're always friendly and you can tell they really enjoy what they do. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, perfect for a leisurely afternoon of wine tasting.The wines themselves are definitely worth mentioning. Whether you prefer reds, whites, or something in between, there's a good chance you'll find something that suits your palate. I've discovered quite a few favorites over my visits (including many pinot noirs, to which I am usually not a fan), and the quality is always top-notch.The winery's cozy setting and friendly faces make it a place I look forward to visiting again and again. It's a great spot to unwind and enjoy some delicious wine. Highly recommend giving it a visit!“

“A while back, I visited a tasting room but didn't find it particularly remarkable, so I never went back. However, tonight I attended an event hosted by a law firm at the same place. To my surprise, I was truly impressed by their Syrah wine. It had a distinctive and uncommon flavor profile, being both peppery and bold, unlike the regular Syrah wines I've tried before. The selection of wines they showcased tonight left a strong impression on me. Given that I live nearby, I have decided to give them another chance and revisit their tasting room. If you happen to be in Urbanwork, I recommend checking them out as well.“

“Anne was amazing & the wines were delicious! We mentioned we were visiting from out of town and she was so helpful on giving us recommendations for restaurants and other wineries to try out. Spruce hill and the cidery were amazing as well, everyone was so friendly and it felt like a private tasting.“

“Came here on vacation and glad we stumbled across it. The wine names are based on hiking trails and Rae was very knowledgeable about the area, wine, and hiking. We really enjoyed the conversations we had with her. The rosé is not a typical rosé but absolutely delicious. You can 100% tell that the owner has a passion for hiking, wine making and sharing her love with others.“

“Delicious food and wine and fantastic branding, enjoyed live music and had some delicious fries. Only reason it wasn't five stars was due to service, felt like an imposition in every interaction with the individual behind the bar but otherwise a fantastic experience.“

“One of my favorite wineries in SoDo! I made a spontaneous visit on Sunday, Feb4th to enjoy wine over a business planning meeting. Javin and team were welcoming and created a fun and inviting atmosphere! Thanks for helping take the Sunday scaries away. :)“

“Only tasting room that we have remained members of in this area. We had several other memberships at other tasting rooms, that over the years the wine has declined. We dropped all of them except Obelisco. Consistent quality in wines, cab forward which we love, almost all Reds, right up my alley. The tasting room stays open later than most in this area too, the attendants are extremely friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. We love their wines and chilling at their tasting room patio on a warm sunny day.“

“Some of the finest wines you'll find in Washington, at a new tasting room in Maltby. My review for their other tasting room in Hollywood Hills mentioned how great their "The Bully" cabernet is (along with almost every other red), but you haven't had a chardonnay until you've tried their Ashan Cellars Conner Lee Chardonnay. Buttery smooth and balanced fruit flavors. Yeah it's expensive but you'll never forget it! Thank you to the staff when we visited last weekend. She put up with our group's indecision and flip flopping, and brought everything out with a smile. Highly recommend this stop if you're in the area!“
