One of our best finds in Capitol Hill since moving to WA. Footprint Wine Tap offers guests a large selection of incredible wine to enjoy as well as a cozy and intimate setting to enjoy them in. The best Pinot Noir and Merlot I've had in the state of WA has been at Footprint. Ken (the owner) is a phenomenal human, if you have the opportunity to pick his brain about wine I'd take it. This is a small black-owned business, focused on sustainability and connecting with the community. I can't wait to go back!

If you haven't been here yet, you should be questioning your life choices. This wine bar exemplifies passion, creativity, and hospitality. I've been a few times and highly recommend everyone go as well.

If you're looking for a great evening to sip some wine and take care of some business, or even just meet up with some friends and have a glass or two quite frankly, this wine tap is amazing. Not only is the staff, friendly and courteous. They're also very knowledgeable and they know how to listen. If you tell them what you're looking for they can pair your desires with the best wine suited for you! They have a lovely assortment of food items to complement their vast array of wines, they even have a lavender mimosa that was phenomenal!

Cute wine bar in Capitol Hill. Friendly service and good prices for Seattle. Parking is tough, though.

Lovely service and great vibes in here. We were able to taste a couple wines before choosing and the person working was very helpful and friendly. We had the place to ourselves and had a very cute and quaint corner to enjoy our wine. The carafe of Pinot noir was enough for about three wine glasses worth and was of great quality! If you have time, take a look at all the art around the store, such beautiful shots of local mountains, lakes, and waterfalls. Overall, a great quiet place to enjoy a glass of wine!

Great place to taste wine from Washington. Sit at the bar and chat with owner. Best hour we spent in Capital Hill area.
I am beyond ecstatic over Footprint Wine Tap on Capitol Hill. I have been wanting to check it out for several years since it opened. Like a good wine, time only allowed it to age to perfection. This business checks off all the boxes for me:- LGBTQ+, Black AND Asian-owned: Check!- Welcoming, warm ambiance with a variety of seating options: Check!- 30 unique drink options not only from sustainable kegs but also ranging from wine to cider to kombucha--there's something for everyone: Check!- All the beverages are produced locally, but also a couple are made by the owner himself: Check!- Service is always friendly and knowledgeable: Check!- They offer small bites that pair perfectly with their drink options: Check!Our crew began with wine tasting, to then by the glass pours, and then ended our night with cider. We all were particularly fond of the 2022 Pride Rosé, Grenache and Cherry Cider. It is no surprise that when I left it was standing room only.

Escape the construction madness on Madison by popping into this lovely, quiet, friendly wine bar in Capitol Hill. My friend and I previewed their first Footprint Rose and instantly loved it.

I visited Footprint Wine Tap last weekend and had such a great time! Ken is such a great host and very knowledgeable about the different wines that are on tap. I thought the concept of reducing our carbon footprint with different ways to bottle wine was such an amazing idea. The environment was so relaxing. We stopped in before beginning our evening and just had a fantastic time. The charcuterie board and house made goat cheese spread is a must try! If you are looking for great wine, great snacks, and an engaging host, this is your spot!

My husband and I were celebrating my birthday, and it was perfect. We each got wine flights and split the signature charcuterie. Delicious wine and a great spread. It was so fun- I highly recommend checking this spot out. Great ambiance and decor too!
